1. In the video Victor Wooten talks about how music is a form of expression. In the video he says "...language works best when we have something interesting to say." Here he was comparing music to language. I think music helps you express how you feel when you don't know how to say it in words.
2. Another interesting thing Victor Wooten talked about was how you can't really learn to play by following a strict regimen. In order for you to get better at playing you have to make mistakes. Under a strict regimen you might learn how to play but it will take a long time.
3. Music comes from the musician not the instrument. The musician is the one making the music because they're the ones playing what they feel. In the video Victor Wooten said, "They can make you laugh or cry, think or question, and can speak to one or many."

We can relate Wooten's approach to music to our class because when we're creating we are writing what we feel with the music notes, and when we're listening to others play we are trying to here what they are trying to say.
