    Music As A Language

    In Music as a Language Wooten makes the case for learning music in the same way as we learned our first language, calling for a more natural, less academic approach. He makes the point that, as babies, we weren't taught our first language or corrected when we made a mistake. We didn't even know we were beginners and got to 'jam' with people much better than us. Wooten draws on his own musical education as an example of how taking this approach can deliver great results.

    Church Musicians And The Power Of The Spirit

    I submit that musicians can be inspired by the spirit of the Holy Ghost during the course of service. You play things that are unrehearsed and perhaps can't be repeated because it happens in the spirit of the moment in question. We don't miss the spirit of the Lord because we are playing the music.
