The Music Lesson: A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music - Paperback

by Victor L. Wooten (Author)

From Grammy-winning musical icon and legendary bassist Victor L. Wooten comes an inspiring parable of music, life, and the difference between playing all the right notes...and feeling them.

The Music Lesson is the story of a struggling young musician who wanted music to be his life, and who wanted his life to be great. Then, from nowhere it seemed, a teacher arrived. Part musical genius, part philosopher, part eccentric wise man, the teacher would guide the young musician on a spiritual journey, and teach him that the gifts we get from music mirror those from life, and every movement, phrase, and chord has its own meaning...All you have to do is find the song inside.

"The best book on music (and its connection to the mystic laws of life) that I've ever read. I learned so much on every level."--Multiple Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Michael Brecker
