The Music Lesson: A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music (0425220931) - Reviews and Prices

Editorial Review:

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.

If you want to understand the types of things that MASTERS of music meditate about music, read this book. I've bought this book 4 times for musician friends. I think it... more info

Wooten Channels Carlos Castaneda:

I'm a long-time fan of Carlos Castaneda's books (The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge), and Wooten's The Music Lesson is cut from similar cloth. In the Castaneda books, the author--an anthropologist--studies with a Mexican Yaqui shaman by the name of Don Juan Matus who teaches the author many things: about plants, about spirituality, about his own inner self, and much more. This is done in a humorous and almost entirely believable way. Debate still continues as to whether the books are fact... more info
