The Musician’s Spirit
James Jordan
In The Musician’s Soul, author James Jordan
sets readers on a journey beyond the precise
techniques of artistry and into a place of selfexploration,
where music can be created with new
heartfelt honesty and beauty. With The Musician’s
Spirit, a companion book to The Musician’s Soul,
and The Musician’s Walk, Jordan takes us to the
next level of creating a more powerful art form.
The Musician’s Spirit focuses not on the self,
but on others and the stories each artist is
able to share through his or her work. Using
thought-provoking quotations, real-life stories,
and visual art, Jordan challenges all artists to share
themselves with their
audience and fellow
artists, thereby creating
a more personal and
beautiful body of work.
This book offers
practical and inspirational
words on courage and
vision, the arts of listening
and trust, conquering the
fear of looking foolish,
and the importance of
story in teaching. Jordan
also includes a Storying
Guide to help the reader
bring out his or her own
story as well as space for
personal notes, stories, and reflections.
Though written with musicians in mind, this beautiful illustrated book offers
tremendous insight for any artist wanting to share his or her vision and story with
the world.
