Anyone Can Play Music

By Josh Turknett

Recommended on: 30th October 2024

I’m tickled to share a gem of a book with you—Anyone Can Play Music by neurologist and musician Josh Turknett! What makes this book special is how brilliantly Josh connects cutting-edge neuroscience with practical learning strategies. He explains how our automatic learning system (what he calls our “zombie subroutines”) works in the basal ganglia to create those wonderful automatic movements we need not just for music, but for any skill we’re trying to master. Josh’s insights about avoiding dependency on reading music and building true fluency by listening form uniquely counterintuitive, but useful learning insights. As both a neuroscientist-physician and accomplished musician, Josh brings a unique triple expertise that makes his teaching truly extraordinary. If you’ve ever thought you were “too old” or “not talented enough” to learn music—or anything else—this book will change your mind!
