This is a really great book written in an easy-to-read style without the waffle. There are some really useful tips and ideas and I never felt as though I was reading a heavy-going manual, but a book that made me think more about where I went wrong. I have always been interested in how and where our muscial talents lie and whether we need to blame our genes or lack of hard work – in my case it being the latter. The background information is well researched and I would highly recommend this guide to anyone interested in learning more about our musicality (particularly students). Lisa Faye is a fantastic singer and educator and while I laughed out loud at some of her stories (many of which are not dissimilar to my own experiences) there is a nod to the hard work that should always be put into whatever side of the music field/industry you lie.

This is an excellent, easy to read book for everyone who is interested in learning and performing music. Suitable for young people, their parents and more mature learners, it takes us through several well researched arguments as to why practice is so important – how ever talented you are. The really important message is that you may feel you have limited or no talent at all, but with practice you can achieve a high standard. This should be on every music teacher’s recommended reading list!

A no-nonsense book, written in a nurturing and encouraging manner. Having seen Lisa perform, it is clear to see that she really does practice what she preaches. A must read book, even if you’re not musical. The principles can be applied to any talent.

Quintessential. A book with clear, defined chapters providing an information packed journey. Lisa encourages reader participation. Make ‘Practice or Talent’ your own and read with a pencil tucked behind your ear. Feel the musical vibes.
