Mindfulness in Music: Notes on Finding Life's Rhythm

Author and composer Mark Tanner has brought together insights from his long career in music into this elegant volume exploring the beauty and mindfulness of the art form. Whether playing an instrument alone, in an orchestra, listening to your favorite album, or simply listening to the soundscape of a forest, or even a city, Tanner suggests that there is a special kind of wisdom and insight to be gained from paying careful attention to the ways that the notes and sounds come together to create something more than the physical effect of sounds on its own. Tanner offers the reader a chance to engage in meditation, and offers his own personal reflections on the power of music to bring out our humanity and our spirituality. A great read for any music lover, and any practitioner of mindfulness looking for new ways to appreciate the world around them.
