This book is a great read for anyone interested in music, mindfulness, meditation, or all three. It’s an honest, unvarnished account of a prominent musician’s struggles with mindful meditation, how he came to succeed in the practice, and why that success was important. The book is full of timely tips to help jump-start or improve your own practice, and cogent arguments for why that’s worth doing. As an added bonus, the book contains fascinating anecdotes about prominent musicians and writers, many of whom—Allen Ginsburg, Miles Davis, and Ravi Coltrane—the author knew personally.

Wolf's writing makes it easy for everyone to understand something we often write off as "too complicated". Mindfulness and meditation can be intimidating or tricky, but this book made it accessible and easy. It's filled with meditation techniques and tips. I think it would be great for anyone curious about getting into mindfulness, and any level of musical background can be helpful. I think the book is super necessary for all stressed-out musicians, and opens up a beautiful new perspective into life for any non-musicians too.

I was expecting to learn how to meditate by listening to music when I bought this book. But the more I got into it the more I realized that the author has a lot more knowledge and wisdom to offer than simple tips on how to listen to music -or silence- mindfully. What he teaches can have an effect on many aspects of life, from the way you understand art to the way you see the world.

In Tune is written by a professional musician who is an award winning commercial music composer and producer. He also is a lifelong meditator and mindfulness practitioner. I have a degree in voice performance and have continued to sing as well as teach voice and direct choirs, although not as my primary profession, so I was very familiar with the musical examples used throughout this book. The book is a good introduction to mindfulness for me, or anyone with a musical background. It gives comparisons, which the author calls bridges, between aspects of both music practice and mindfulness practice. For someone without a good musical knowledge, this book would likely be overwhelming.
