Out of Tune Piano Blues<\/span><\/p>\n

Mystery Novel<\/span><\/p>\n

A puzzle that only a musician could solve; a mystery that only a musician could write. Join concert pianist Arthur Singer, 30, in his 18th season on tour. Experience with him, not a routine college visit, but a panoply of characters old and young, an electric romance sparked by music, and a tragic death.<\/p>\n

Acclaimed pianist-author JAMES BOYK inducts the reader into music’s mysteries: the performer’s mind during a concert; the heart of the teacher-student relationship; and how the soul of the artist, cradled by music, may be torn asunder by the tensions of a career.<\/p>\n

For lovers of music and mystery, for those fascinated by the complexities of human characters and the intricacies of detective stories, this book offers a unique blend, in language precise, unexpected and transparent, and with music penetrating the entire fabric of the story.<\/p>\n

To Hear Ourselves as Others Hear Us<\/span><\/p>\n

For musicians of all instruments and ages, it is a guide to using recording as a tool in practicing, teaching and preparing for performance. Following Boyk’s tested wisdom, musicians will hear themselves more objectively, work more efficiently, and play more expressively.<\/p>\n

It is also an easy-to-understand guide to microphones and other recording gear, with specific equipment recommendations, all from a recognized expert. (Boyk is a recording engineer\/producer, and founded the Music Lab at California Institute of Technology.)<\/p>\n

Finally, the book’s many amusing anecdotes and poetic reflections make it a reading delight.<\/p>\n
