The Music Lesson: A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music Audiobook

" This is a true real fantasy eye opening thought provoking inspirational tale of an angel person spirit guide helping a young man understand the pure reality of vibrations and sound while becoming part of the music he plays.... entertainment vibes keeps you tuned into this revelation. "

" As a musician, I was really intrigued by the subtile "a spiritual search for growth through music". I found it very captivating the way the author weaved a story that incorporated some of the basic elements of music such as dynamics and rhythm. Reflecting back on the book, it vaguely reminded me of the feeling that I had some 25 years ago when I was assigned the reading of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. "

" Stick to playing bass, victor. Nice one-liners, but nothing innovative. "

" Very similar to "Illusions" but less hippy-crystal gazing. An excellent book on personal philosophy. "

" A must-read for every musician, but this book is also a great allegory on life. "

" Victor Wooten writes, as per the constant request of his friends, family, and friends, a book on how he came to understand music the way he does. Anyone looking for a book on complex music theory and specific technique will not find what they're looking for here. This book is an incredibly profound account of a mystical teacher that shattered his preconceptions about music, and rebuilt his understanding of music as a living spiritual entity. Everyone who has even considered calling themselves a musician should immediately begin reading this book. "

" Suspended Castaneda disbelief as long as I could stand, but then around page 98 he began eliciting shark-jumping whoppers that pushed my gentility off the boat. "

" My pick! "

" A must read for any musician! "

" Well done. Very useful. "

" An excellent book for musicians. If you are one, read it. "

" Wooten's The Music Lesson is an interesting book. It shares some interesting ideas about the tangible, corporeal qualities of music, and is written in an interesting and novel style. Some of the dialogue gets annoying at times, but overall Wooten has written an interesting and helpful book. "

" Interesting take on the subject matter, but the Carlos Castenada surrealist approach didn't work for me. I'd love to take one of his Groove Workshops, though: I think his groove-first approach to music answers a lot of the questions I've had about music education in recent years. "

" A very well done book. Victor Wooten focuses on the less recognized more important components to music and musicianship. "

" Wooten is a real magician on bass and this fiction (?) story can give you a hint why... "

" An absolutely incredible book. Anyone who plays or listens to music should read this book. This is not a theory or instruction book but a story that will change your whole perspective on music and life. "

" This is an amazing book about music. It is unique for two reasons: the vast majority of the book does not discuss notes and rhythms, and it is told as an allegory. Something about Victor's style of relating music to life and avoiding technical music talk made this a very powerful book for me. "

" The storyline got in the way of the message. I read it using a highlighter so I wouldn't miss the good advice. "

" Great book for musicians, lessons not taught in school, but in the real world of performance and mastery. Read. "

" This book has some useful musical principles for the new musician. But in general they are not new, they are not innovative, and the little mystical story within which they are couched is trite at best...one of those efforts to be profound that fails utterly. "

" "Dress and act ordinary and you produce ordinary students." "

" did you learn from the experience?! "

" Very similar to "Illusions" but less hippy-crystal gazing. An excellent book on personal philosophy. "

" new agey and awesome and music transcendent i loved this "

" Read this for book club. It had such promise - but was done in by very poor writing and worse editing. "

" I didn't get all the way through, our drummer was reading it on a trip and I was reading it when he would put it down, but I was liking what I read so far. A very unique take on the mental aspects of music. No scary math. I think even a non-musicians would like it. "
