Teaching Life Through Music - Victor Wooten Part 1 of 3
“The world needs more than just good musicians. We need more good people.”
Seeds & Roots – Victor’s Backstory
The youngest of five children, Victor Wooten was a musician from the moment he was born. His childhood was defined by the unwavering support of his parents, which instilled in him core values and encouragement. His parents consistently affirmed that who he was as a person, was more important than what he did or what he could do. This inspired him to do good things with whatever he had, and he understood that his ultimate purpose should be to help others, not simply himself.
Life is an Evolution
Among other things, he is a loving husband and father of four, a skilled naturalist and teacher, a published author, a magician, and acrobat. Victor’s first book, Music Lesson-A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music, was a self-published novel about Life and Music. With the success of the book, came the release of The Music Lesson audio book. Wooten is preparing to release the sequel to The Music Lesson which is titled, The Spirit of Music in early 2021. He is also planning to write a book of quotes from his parents - filled with wisdom and insights from his family. Victor is passionate about teaching, and teaches life through music.
The Gift of Vision
As a child, Wooten and his brothers began performing as a 5-piece band, performing and honing their skills together. Wooten looked up to his brothers as superheroes, pushing themselves to the limits with the mentality that they could achieve anything. Growing up with four of the world’s greatest musicians, Wooten’s ultimate gift was a gift of vision. He would simply observe his brothers playing their own instruments, and was able to take those specific techniques and apply them to his instrument of choice, the bass. Through his, he found where he was the strongest to best support the group’s music. With his brothers and parents as his foundation, Victor was able to keep his mind open and learn how to adapt.
