The Musical Life

Everyone, according to the author, is musical by nature. And if you don't believe it, this book will convince you. With inspirational essays, Mathieu takes the reader on a journey through ordinary experiences to open our ears to the rich variety of music that surrounds us.
Being musical does not necessarily mean being a musician; it doesn't mean playing the piano at parties or composing songs for lovers. It is a way of being awake, an angle of perception, a tilt of the ear. The musical ear knows it is innately in tune with the universe. A person can talk or move musically, or simply be harmonious, without being a fine violinist. You do not need a musician's craft to know that both you and music are made from the same design. - From the preface
