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
