Date: 18 Jul 2009 10:03 am (UTC)In the first chapter he makes the point about how we learn a language within the first five years of our lives and we easily become masters of our language because 1) we are surrounded by others who speak it, and 2) because we practice it by constantly "jamming" with others all the time; we practice improvisizing language, expressing ourselves, with various people of all kinds and all levels of skill and ages.
So why do most musicians think it takes so very, very long to master Music, always thinking they are never good enough or that they belong in some skill level and thus cannot "jam" with other musicians in other levels?
If we could see being musical as a simple and honest thing, the simplest honest musical expressions can be gateways to profoundly freeing ourselves.
Looking forward to finishing the book soon.
