The Musician's Spirit: Connecting to Others Through Story

This companion book to The Musician's Soul 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 questions, quotations, real-life stories and visual art, Jordan challenges all artists to share themselves with their audiences 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. Beautifully illustrated, this text offers tremendous insight for any artist wanting to share his or her vision and story with the world.
