Suggested
Reading from the STORM...
For
those of you who wish to more fully understand the body of work
called "STORM" Works, or for those of
you who wish to be more readily armed and prepared as an Educator
and a defender of Music's important role in the curriculum, this
non-exhaustive list of books is offered. Many of these very fine
books will change the way you look at Music and all else...
That We
Might Live... by Grace C. Nash. I did not know this book existed
until long after writing both THAT
WE MIGHT LIVE and KAKEHASHI:
That We Might Live. And the SYNC? It's enormous!
The War
of Art... by Steven Pressfield
The Alchemist,
The Zahir, and The Pilgrimage... by Paulo Cohelo
The Time
of Our Singing... by Richard Powers, who also wrote The
Gold Bug Variations. I believe this author to be a genius.
His insights about history and family and culture interwoven with
Music are remarkable. I recommend this book highly, especially to
Music Educators and students.
