I have read several but I like the ones that tell me how they were inspired from a young age to pursue music (given an instrument, musical family).
I would love to share this book with my students! Thanks for sharing about it.
I think “Playing at the Border: A story about Yo-Yo Ma” is a good book about music and its ability to touch people.
I love reading autobiographies from musicians themselves.
