My favorite book is Musician's Way: A Guide to Practice, Performance, and Wellness. This book was selected because it describes how performers can practice more efficiently and reduce anxiety. Not only can effective practice methods help performers improve practice efficiency, but they can also aid in performance enhancement. Also, a common issue among performers is anxiety. Performers must also take a course to control their emotions and overcome performance-related fear.

In the book Playing (Less) Hurt: An Injury Prevention Guide for Musicians, Horvath details various injury prevention techniques. I will sustain fewer injuries by incorporating these techniques into my daily training and performance.
1、After each hour of practice, I take a 10 to 15-minute break to prevent injury. During these pauses, I stretch, walk around, or do something unrelated to playing an instrument.
2、I begin playing and practicing an instrument with light stretches to warm up my muscles and joints.
3、Additionally, correct posture prevents my injuries. When I play, I maintain an upright posture and a natural alignment of my body.
4、I stop and take a break when playing an instrument causes discomfort or pain. If the pain persists, I will seek medical attention.
5、Eating a well-balanced diet, obtaining sufficient rest, and engaging in regular exercise help me improve my physical fitness. Prevent my injury while practicing and performing on my instrument.

In Excellence in Music: Strategies and Techniques for Improving Performance, Williamson offers insightful strategies and techniques for players to improve their playing. I found some ideas for daily practice and playing in this book.
1、Before beginning a practice or a performance, establish a goal that is specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and limited. Concentrate on one or two objectives at a time.
2、Focus on the quality, rather than the quantity, of your relationships. Using deliberate practice techniques, identify areas for improvement and systematically address them.
3、Developing self-awareness is also crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of practice. As you practice and perform, be conscious of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. Identify any negative self-talk or anxious expressions and assign coping strategies.
4、To simulate the stress of playing, practice with a metronome, record yourself or play in front of friends and family. This can help the performer improve their stability.
