060 Kenny Werner: Becoming the Instrument, Lessons on Self-Mastery from Music to Life

by tannerguss on December 30, 2021

Kenny Werner–acclaimed pianist, composer, and famed author of Effortless Mastery–is here to discuss his new book Becoming the Instrument. We talk about finding The Space, MSD (music school disease), applying musical mastery to our lives, how to let go of the need to sound good, a 20 sec meditation for fellow lazy yogis, treating music as a spiritual practice, letting the hands play, how to actually make progress when practicing, and lima bean cans.
