An inspiring parable about music, life, and the difference between playing the right notes ... and feeling them.

From Grammy winner and legendary bassist Victor L. Wooten, "The Music Lesson" is the story of a struggling young man who wanted music to be his life and his life to be great. Then, a teacher appears out of nowhere. Partly a musical genius, partly a philosopher, and partly an eccentric sage, the teacher will guide the young man on a spiritual journey, and will teach him that the gifts we obtain from music reflect those of life itself; that each movement, phrase and chord have their own meaning. You just have to find the melody inside you.

A book that invites you to relax and feel the rhythm, instead of being trapped in a theoretical boredom. The chapters Articulation, Technique, Feeling, Dynamics, Rhythm, Tone, Phrase, or Space, are taught in a unique way, in connection with life itself. For musicians and music lovers, there is much more than just listening ... Feel, smell, taste and see. Experience it!
