February 4, 4PM: Gary Marcus and "Guitar Zero" Comes To Woodstock with special guests Marilyn Crispell, Perry Beekman, and David Rothenberg
On the eve of his fortieth birthday, Gary Marcus, an internationally renowned scientist with no discernible musical talent, becomes his own guinea pig to look at how human beings become musical- and how anyone of any age can master something new. Guitar Zero traces his journey, what he learned, and how you can learn, too. In addition to being a groundbreaking look at the origins and allure of music, Marcus's journey is also an empowering tale of the mind's plasticity.
In a quest that takes him from Suzuki classes to guitar gods, Marcus investigates the most effective ways to train your brain and body to learn to play an instrument. How can you make your practice more deliberate and effective? How can you find the best music teacher for you or your child? Does talent really exist? Or is hard work all you need?
Come listen to Gary read and play. He'll be joined by a few of his talented friends including Marilyn Crispell, Perry Beekman, and David Rothenberg.
