Midnight Arpeggios is about how to  practice music, but it doesn't contain a single note, chord, scale, arpeggio or warmup exercise.

Instead, it is concerned with the quality and maintenance of our relationship to music, it is about the power of attention, simplicity, overcoming fear, resisting blind convention while embracing the classics, timelessness, strengths and limitations, assessing influences, leadership, concentration, deliberation, patience, art, mind, body, soul, money, the differing nature of instrumental and lyrical music, creativity and the muse, listening, confronting the uniquely modern  problem of music overload, getting lost, mindset, accepting challenges, character, the art of the list, and the many ways music has woven itself into our experience of the world.

Each chapter begins with a brief quote and an original photograph, and is followed by stories that weave the personal experience and ideas of the author with that of great musicians, artists, philosophers, and scientists.

Midnight Arpeggios makes a great addition to any musician's library. You may find yourself turning to it again and again whenever you need a shot of inspiration or encouragement to get that instrument out, and play.
