Summary: Quirky but worthwhile
Comment: The author suggests unconventional ways of dealing with musician's nagging problems, such as, self doubt or technical plateaus. Her approach and ideas are a bit quirky but useful. She challenges musicians to step outside the conventional pedagogy box to explore solutions in fresh ways. Hidden under this new way of addressing problems is the feeling of empowerment musicans will gain if they listen to her advice.

Rating: 5
Summary: Get inside your head with "A Soprano on Her Head"
Comment: This book was an unofficial "required reading" for my teacher's viola studio in undergraduate and is one of the best books I have ever read! It can help you change your approach to practicing, auditioning, and your approach to music problem solving. It also may make you examine the way you approach other aspects of your life. This is a book about keeping ideas fresh, keeping your spirit free, and not being afraid to try something new (and {gasp} potentially unorthodox). You do not have to be a professional musician to enjoy this book. Wonderful!

Rating: 5
Summary: Useful for any creative medium
Comment: I skimmed through this book and thought, "well, this isn't really much." Then I started reading it again and found many helpful things. I especially liked the chapter "Drink your milk; don't drink your milk" - on how to ignore the endless amount of expert advice and technical guidance available, most of it contradictory. As a visual artist, I found myself feeling much lighter and happier about my work process since reading this book.
