Practice & Improvising (Part 6) - Using all the Elements in Music

“The elements of Music are the individual parts that make up Music as a whole. Many musicians like yourself struggle because you are not familiar enough with all the elements. You rely on mostly one or two of them when you play. Doing that is a great recipe for frustration. A musician like me, who appropriately uses all the elements, will be one of the greats even though he may not be aware of the fact that he is using them. Actually, it would be nearly impossible to become a great musician without using all of these elements.” Pg 33, The Music Lesson: A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music by Victor L. Wooten
