The Music Lesson

dar512 · 08-14-2009, 09:27 AM

The Music Lesson is a book by Victor Wooten, a well known bass player. It is in the form of a folk tale; the musician who can't seem to break through is visited by a mysterious stranger. But the story is just a creative way for Wooten to show the reader how to think about making music.

I'm about half way through at this point. I can't say, yet, what long-term impact it will have on my playing, but it has definitely helped me to think differently about playing music and practicing. Having another way to look at things is always useful.

Anyone else read it?
