Blow Your Mind is a practical guide for the serious brass player, student or teacher who is pursuing insight into research-based methods for playing brass instruments. Like the author's earlier work, Teaching Brass (2007), the present book deals with essential physiological aspects of brass playing such as embouchure, articulation and breathing, but also advances into recent discoveries in educational psychology and neuroscience that bear on learning, practicing and the mental aspects of performance.
