Books by David Bloom
Incite Insights
Incite Insights is a front-row seat to David Bloom’s ideologies: making the most of your birthright, challenging yourself, and not squandering your time. Inspired by French philosopher Michel de Montaigne, whose essays covered life experiences, Bloom’s essays engage the reader with inquiries on Life, America, Lazy Words, and Music. Titles include “I Hate the USA,” “The Death of Black Music,” “United Whores of America,” and “Special and Ordinary.”
These essays were written over two decades of teaching, observing and questioning. They reach far beyond music and into life, the way we use language, what we value, and the way we treat one another. Musicians and civilians alike will glean energy and boldness from these essays. Who knows—reading them just might help you change the course of your life, your art, your community, or the world.

What Is Soul?
What is Soul? is a curated collection over 30 interviews with a wide range of people, which decouples the word “soul” from both religion and music, allowing it to be a tool to enhance our lives.
Fire and Form Music Method Books
This 8-book series gives musicians a pathway to use technique not to impress others, but to express themselves and create significant musicial moments.
