| | Description | Paperback book and CD set. Effortless Mastery: Liberating the Master Musician Within is a book for any musician who finds themselves having reached a plateau in their development. Werner, a masterful jazz pianist in his own right, uses his own life story and experiences to explore the barriers to creativity and mastery of music, and in the process reveals that "Mastery is available to everyone," providing practical, detailed ways to move towards greater confidence and proficiency in any endeavor. While Werner is a musician, the concepts presented are for every profession or life-style where there is a need for free-flowing, effortless thinking. Book also includes an audio CD of meditations narrated by Kenny to help the musician reach a place of relaxed focus. | |

 Some useful tips Jul 27, 2010
There are some useful mental and practical tips for getting to where you want to be musically.
You can get into the meditation stuff if it turns you on, however this book is not just about mediatation. Practical tips on practising and preparing yourself for performance are there for you to extract. The author uses his experiences to relay this information. The book is aimed specifically at jazz improvisation or classical musician types, but the information is relevant to all muso's.
 Effortless Mastery: Liberating The Master Musician Within Jul 10, 2010
Kenny Werner's book, "Effortless Mastery", should be must read-
ing for every musician, beginner or professional. It is full of techniques to get you to pick up your instrument that has been sitting in the corner, collecting dust.
I honestly believe that Kenny knows more about teaching music than anyone on the planet. I have read it twice and I am getting ready to read it again.
Kenny also has two dvds out, where he talks to college musicians and answers their questions. These dvds should be pur-
chased, as well.
If you play music, you need to read this. Jul 04, 2010
Kenny Werner's Effortless Mastery is a beautiful description of the joy of playing music from a relaxed, meditative state along with advice for achieving it. As many here have mentioned, he clearly explains the counterproductive thought processes which inundate the mind of most musicians; you'll think he's been inside your mind! I highly recommend this book to a musician of any instrument and style of music. In fact, the concepts are universal and are applicable to anything you do in life - sports, writing, etc. A MUST READ!

 Incomplete Package May 09, 2010
This is a terrific text potentially capable of guiding the reader through improvement of his/her performance. However, it is wothless without the CD. I received the book all right, but WITHOUT the crucial part for practicing and/or meditation - the CD.
The Amazon did not specify that the book includes the CD and did not forwarn the purchaser before finishing the sale that this particular book is missing this important intrinsic part.
The book without the CD is useless. I wasted my money.
I would change my opinion of Amazon and the book should Amzon complete the package and forward to me the missing item.
Excellent!!! Apr 23, 2010
I just purchased this book a couple of weeks ago. I have been playing guitar and singing for about 10 years now. I have become frustrated with my lack of progress many times. I have spoken with a few great musicians who have said they just go into to the zone. I know that going into the zone is one of the keys to being a focused and great musician. Kenny gives a wonderful explanation of how to let go and just be one with the music. I have been using his methods for about a very short time now and have already seen a huge improvement in my music. I highly recommend this book! Thank you Kenny!!
