William Westney And The Un-Master Class RECENT NEWS William Westney recently completed a sixmonth residency, as Hans Christian Andersen Guest Professor, at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in Odense during 2009 http://www.williamwestney.com/
Extractions: As a professional pianist, I have always been fascinated by the ways in which concert music performance makes us accountable, requires us to master skills of mind and body, and presents intriguing practical problems every day. As a university professor, studio teacher and workshop facilitator I?ve been faced with the challenge of developing instructional techniques that address performance issues in direct, useful ways. The results of my ongoing research and its applications are chronicled in this website, and I believe that they will be of interest not only to musicians, but to professionals in other fields where there is also a high premium placed on effectiveness in performance, problem-solving, communication and creativity.

Extractions: Some very useful ideas about how to approach practicing. The author pinpoints a few major 'bad' habits that are very common and detrimental to improvement through practice. He articulates these problems very clearly and offers some interestingand I think very usefulways to deal with them and improve efficiency and enjoyment during hours in the woodshed. Our habits are so ingrained and we have historically been practicing in inefficient ways for so long that it is no longer a matter of employing a quick fix; some changes that need to be made are major and challenging. This book points out what needs to be changed and how those changes can help, and even somewhat guides us through the process of making those changes.
