    Synopsis

    From Grammy-winning musical icon and legendary bassist Victor L. Wooten comes The Music Lesson, 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.

    October 04, 2009: I great read and inspiring for other musicians. It takes on the spiritual side of music either through real experiences or fiction type characters that help add color and joy to the reading. I will pass this on to my kids in hopes that it impacts their musical lives.

    July 20, 2009: Absolutely invaluable to anyone who is or wants to be a musician. Granted the writing is a little larger than normal and the writing simplistic at times, but that doesn't take it down any. I would like to ask Victor Wooten how much he exagurated in the book, but whether or not he did, the points made about connections between life, love, music, inspiration, spirituality, motivation, improvisation, thought and knowledge are VERY well made. If you are a musician this book is very relate-able, and you will probably change the way you practice and play forever. It's not just about music, it's about life and how the different aspects of music and life are really the same thing. He shows that things like rhythm, notes, and tone are all things that we experience and improvise with everyday, whether or not we are musicians.
