Making music - how does that actually work? In what way are body and mind capable of achieving this remarkable feat? "The Art of Making Music" not only explains the underlying processes in the brain, nervous system, and musculoskeletal system involved in making music, but also addresses their practical application. Based on medical insights, musicians receive guidance on how to overcome unnecessary limitations, reduce anxiety, and practice more effectively. Together with the renowned music physician Prof. Eckart Altenmüller, Renate Klöppel has updated this standard work to reflect the latest research.
