During my last 15 years as workshop leader and teacher at several music academies I had to conclude that the major problem in becoming a good player is not about being talented or not, but about the way you work, the way you practise and above all the way you think about yourself.

This made me decide to write "Practising without Problems".

The book can be ordered through this website, is priced at €14,80,
has 80 pages and is written in 'easy' English.

The book is already sold to people in Norway, Germany, Benelux, Canada, India, France, Sweden, Finland, Australia, Spain, Switzerland, Serbia, Israël, Rumania, Italy, Latvia, Russia, New Zealand, Ireland, Austria and to the USA.
