Book Description
A musician's life is filled with many stressful situations: passing auditions, rehearsing and performing with difficult partners, sitting for long hours in uncomfortable chairs, going on stage to face audiences large and small, who may or may not be receptive to the performance they are presented. And yet many musicians are able to surmount these looming obstacles with grace and balance, to find satisfaction and artistry in their music and build productive and lasting careers. Indirect Procedures will guide you around these obstacles and along that path to becoming a balanced and successful musician. Based on the work of Frederick Matthias Alexander, this book is a thorough and practical approach to the issues of musicians' health and wellbeing. Author Pedro de Alcantara introduces concepts and exercises for musicians to let go of excessive tensions, stay focused, and direct their energies as they handle the challenges of practicing, rehearsing, and performing. Complemented by an extensive, easy-to-use companion website, and working alongside Integrated Practice, this new edition of Indirect Procedures is an invaluable and essential resource for today's musicians to learn to sing, play, and conduct with less effort and stronger results.

Book Description
Standard Methods of Clinical Chemistry, Volume 6 provides information pertinent to the more accurate methods of analysis. This book deals with various subjects, including personnel management, electronics, and data processing systems. Organized into 21 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the most colorimetric methods for estimating uric acid based on the nonspecific reduction of phosphotungstate by uric acid in an alkaline solution. This text then examines the electrophoretic separation and quantitation of proteins in serum or other body fluids. Other chapters provide a discussion of the control of the major reaction variables needed to meet the recommendations of the International Union of Biochemistry. This book discusses as well the modifications developed to eliminate some of the inaccuracies resulting from incomplete destruction of hydrogen peroxide and instability of the developed chromophore. The final chapter deals with the enzymatic methods for the determination of lactic and pyruvic acids in body fluids and tissues. This book is a valuable resource for clinical chemists.
