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

Book Description
Remembering the Music and Passing it On Exploring Music Theories Every group that makes music (and ethnomusicologists have found that this includes pretty much everyone) has developed some way to remember their music and pass it down through generations of insiders. There are many ways to do this. Vocalists may memorize how to sing, and instrumentalists memorize how to play, specific pieces. They may teach by rote what they have memorized, or new musicians may learn and memorize the pieces simply by watching and listening. They might develop a way to write down, or notate their music. They also may develop a theory of their music that helps them remember how to play it correctly; for example, concepts regarding the way the music is organized can help a performing musician remember what happens next. Chapter Outline: Research ways that the music is remembered Develop your own ways to remember, think about, and discuss the music Use your preferred methods to listen to, remember, and discuss the music Use your remembering strategies to join with music The Open Courses Library introduces you to the best Open Source Courses.

Frog Music
Author: Emma Donoghue
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316324663
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Room, a young French burlesque dancer living in San Francisco is ready to risk anything in order to solve her friend’s murder—but only if the killer doesn’t get her first. Summer of 1876: San Francisco is in the fierce grip of a record-breaking heat wave and a smallpox epidemic. Through the window of a railroad saloon, a young woman named Jenny Bonnet is shot dead. The survivor, her friend Blanche Beunon, is a French burlesque dancer. Over the next three days, she will risk everything to bring Jenny's murderer to justice—if he doesn't track her down first. The story Blanche struggles to piece together is one of free-love bohemians, desperate paupers, and arrogant millionaires; of jealous men, icy women, and damaged children. It's the secret life of Jenny herself, a notorious character who breaks the law every morning by getting dressed: a charmer as slippery as the frogs she hunts. In thrilling, cinematic style, Frog Music digs up a long-forgotten, never-solved crime. Full of songs that migrated across the world, Emma Donoghue's lyrical tale of love and bloodshed among lowlifes captures the pulse of a boomtown like no other. "Her greatest achievement yet . . . Emma Donoghue shows more than range with Frog Music—she shows genius." —Darin Strauss, author of Half a Life.
