What makes a brilliant artist? In this ground-breaking book, author Peter K Elkus looks at creativity through an emotional, psychological and physical level to discover how a good artist can transform into a great one. He himself was chosen for the Julliard Opera Theater by Maria Callas and he has worked with students at La Scala, The Metropolitan Opera New York, The Paris Opera and more.
Written clearly with humor and compassion, The Telling of Our Truths includes a sample lesson and is broken up into three distinct parts. Elkus examines creative blocks, guides the reader into how to regain the true self without letting ego get in the way, and then includes positive, supportive techniques for singers, instrumentalists and educators.
"Overall it's fascinating, revealing a view of people and education and music that is entirely new to me. A good read!"--James Burke, historian and best-selling author
