Publisher Description

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

Divine!

This is just the best reading I had on the last 10 years. Emotions flow through the story. Thank you Victor! You’re doing it right! ❤️

Incredible and essential for all musicians and story tellers!

Get ready to have your mind blown and expanded by this book.
Traditional music education has a lot to learn from the teachings offered here. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED reading along while listening to Wooten’s beautiful scored audiobook. Plays like a long form cartoon VO in a lot of ways while retaining its power and importance.

No accident

If you’ve landed here, then this book is meant for you. It’s your time. Follow. And I f you agree on this journey, be prepared for Life to deepen, and Music, and Nature ... who knows where each begins or ends ... or not.

One of my favorite books ever, written by one of my favorite humans. I can’t wait for next year and the next installment. Meanwhile blessings to you all. And get yourself to Victor Wooten’s Center For Music And Nature - you can ask him yourself and share in the magic.

Blessings to all.
