I have read - and continue to refer to - an excellent book by Barry Green and Timothy Gallwey called "The Inner Game Of Music". Green was a bassist with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra for many years. He applies the "Inner Game" fundamentals to his music students with astonishing results, mainly to overcome ""inner" obstacles such as fear and self-doubt. Some sample chapter titles - " The Power of Awareness"; "The Power of Trust"; " Letting Go"; "Coping With Obstacles"; " Integration and Balance" - you get the drift. He also touches on things like creativity, ensemble playing, improvisation and other parts of the music "game" (remember that we PLAY music!).

Well worth a read and it addresses the exact issue of Slowoldman.
