The Music Lesson by Victor L. Wooten Book Summary

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.

Disarming and profound. The Music Lesson blends form and content in an inspired way. The literary device is engaging - an ordinary struggling bassist is visited by a series of odd and inspirational characters who teach him elements of musicality that carry over into his life outside of music. Each of the lessons illustrate an aspect of music making that is subtle and difficult to communicate in text form. By embodying the lessons within a story, they become accessible and alive. Wooten is an engaging story-teller, and with a wink he remains mysterious as to whether the book's events are real or fictional. In the end, the value of the book lies in how well it highlights critical aspects of musicianship such as attitude towards practicing, the central role of broad listening, selfless playing to support your mates in ensembles, and openness to learning. The best and easiest reading book on music, and the deepest inside look at the moment by moment awareness of the jazz/rock/pop ensemble player. Five stars, with an extra glow if you are a bass player.

The music lesson. I will never look at music the same! What an amazing journey victor took in learning to play an feel music! The greatest thing about this book is what an easy read. I would recommend this to any musician!

good lessons. The message of this book, and it's connecting dots to understand the importance and significance of music and being a musician are worth the price. The stories are a little hard to take in places, and the venturing into outright mysticism and dreamscapes ultimately weakens the practicality of the lessons. All in all, it's a worthwhile read, whether or not you're a mucisian.

Incredible!. The Music Lesson by Victor Wooten is easily one of my favorite books of all time. The way he ties music into the spiritual world is eye-opening. I went through a spiritual transformation while reading this book (which is continuing to this day) and the book definitely changed my life in a great way. I've borrowed this book out to about 10 other people by now, and even if spirituality isn't your thing, the actual music lessons within the journey are fantastic. Don't hesitate, buy this book now! I've actually bought about 6 copies and given them to musical friends and even one of my college professors, because I love this book.

“You can learn or not...”. Why does it seem that entertainers that are also musicians have the quickest wit...even some athletes have this talent. What is it? “No one can teach you anything. They can only show you.” If you want to learn, the secrets, they are in this book. A great book, well written, enjoyable, exceptional intentions, a read that becomes written in your heart and mind...a paradigm shift maker...

The music lesson. Really neat way to open up the music in your life. Victor is really giving us a life changing possibility. Listen and you will hear.

Revelation & Pure Genius. I know what you are thinking. Victor Wooten wrote a fictional book?! What? Well, I think this is a true story to some extent, If not to every extent. This book is life changing. As a bass player, my approach to music was completely revolutionized. I learned more from this book about music and life than I could have possibly learned in a lifetime. Get i, don't hesitate.

Da Man. The way he plays, it seems this is NON-fiction...how else could it be explained. I have so much to learn, and the lessons of this book offered a start! :)

Life Changing. Victor’s book has the aura of a Castenada work. You’re taken into a world where music is a form of mysticism, and in the end it’s inspiring and eye openning. Highly recommnended.

Good insight. Victor gives good insight as to how he feels about the whole "music thing". I found the way he shares his views interesting and engaging. His book really shines a light on how to approach the process of music. I think it unlikely anyone interested enough to read these reviews would be disappointed with the book.

The music lesson. This book changed my life. I had never looked at music in a spiritual way before reading the music lesson. I recommend this book to anyone who can read. It's a quick read and it's really worth it :)

Amazing. Great find! This story is very refreshing and a great view on music in life. I would read this book over and over again.

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.

Not just for bass-players. This has got to be one of the most thought-provoking books of music philosophy I, and several friends of mine, have ever encountered. Victor Wooten (bassist-extraordinaire and a founding member of the multi-Grammy-winning jazz-fusion band Béla Fleck and the Flecktones) uses a fictional guru named “Michael” to share a collection of musical insights collected and created over a lifetime (so far). Each chapter contains at least one gem that can change the way you approach creating, even listening, to music. I plan to reread it every couple of years, and have purchased extra copies to give to friends! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The embodiment of Music. I recommend, buy, or pass this book along to every musician I encounter. After 3 reads in two years, I am still blown away by the new things I learn and experience through Music. Thank you Victor, and all those that "keep the flame alive"!!! Read it now -- you will not be disappointed.
