Performing to the Max

Becoming a musician is so much more than learning to play an instrument. As a matter of fact, the musician is really the instrument and the musical instrument is simply the amplification of that person's ability and personality. This book is offered with the hope that more aspiring performers will put the whole picture together, and meet nagging, sometimes less forgiving, problems head-on. It is possible for all of us to come closer to achieving our maximum potential when carefully evaluating ourselves in the light of the material in this book. Dr. Cox writes as one who, after eighty years of study and life, has come to understand much more than he did as a young man. If this book helps some to pay more attention, appreciate their teachers more, carefully look at their own potential, and establish goals as to how to get there, he will be sufficiently rewarded.
