The Music Lesson
Author: Victor L. Wooten
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1440637695
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book 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

The Band Director's Pocket Guide to Spiritual Growth
Author: Donald Lee
Publisher: BookLocker.com, Inc.
ISBN: 1999210999
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 46
Book Description
In this little booklet, you’ll find a simple yet relatively unknown process you can use to make definite and rapid spiritual progress. You’ll find no theology, no dogma, no rules—just three simple steps to help you become the person you want to be—and God intended you to be. If you have attended workshops and retreats, read spiritual books, gone on pilgrimages, and sat for hours in prayer and meditation, yet still feel like you’re spiritually spinning your wheels, this simple method might be the thing that finally gives you some traction. This method transcends religion. It doesn’t matter which religion you follow or if you’ve no religion at all. 1. The first step is to set spiritual goals. We set goals in every other aspect of our lives. Why not with our spirit? But it’s not quite the same. Setting spiritual goals is a little different. 2. The second step is connecting to the Divine within. This might seem strange to you. Maybe you thought “God” was something outside of you. But there are some simple and direct ways to connect to that “divine within,” whatever name you choose to give it. 3. The third step is to practice. Just like learning to play a musical instrument—or learning any skill—you have to practice. This book gives you some guidance on how to do that. In the end, the Band Director can give you a musical instrument and some instruction, but the instrument is in your hands. It’s up to you to become whatever you choose to be. But you might want to consider the bigger vision that God has for you. You are meant to be far more than you imagine! On your spiritual journey, you can choose to progress or regress, to move slowly or quickly, to pause and plateau or rush forward with wild abandon. Our destination is God. Why tarry? Why not choose the fast track of spiritual growth? This booklet is about how to change yourself for the better. You can be the person you desire to be. You can be a saint. In fact, that is your destiny. You are here for that. God has put the desire into your heart. He is calling to you. Forge ahead, timid pilgrim—the Promised Land awaits!
