A life in music was never easy, but today it is even harder, with Jonathan Haidt calling ours the Anxious Generation. Recent surveys have shown that over 70% of musicians suffer from a lack of self-worth and other stress related illnesses, and are not being given the emotional and spiritual tools, or support, required to sustain happy and healthy lives in the profession.

Mindfulness for Musicians offers a new approach to practice, teaching and performance. It will help you cultivate attention that is clear, kind, inclusive and compassionate, that leads to greater ease both in the practice room and on stage.

Haidt cites mindfulness as a path towards wellbeing, and this introduction aspires to take you on that path, offering a set of skills that will help you not just survive but thrive in a life in music.
