Let’s Begin…
Music is a powerful communication tool--it causes us to laugh, cry, think and question. Bassist and five-time Grammy winner, Victor Wooten, asks us to approach music the same way we learn verbal language--by embracing mistakes and playing as often as possible.
Should beginning musicians play with accomplished musicians? Why? How often should it happen? Who are some of your musical idols? Do you think they improve when they play with other musicians?
