The book also addresses the Psychological Aspects of Performing, offering strategies to overcome stage fright, develop stage presence, and perform under pressure.
Mastering Multiple Genres of Music covers techniques specific to jazz, rock, pop, classical, and orchestral bass playing, while Collaborating with Other Musicians explores jamming, rehearsing, and playing in small groups and orchestras.
