Thanks to Rod Paton, and everyone who came and contributed to a day of Lifemusic yesterday.
We explored the concepts of Lifemusic; experienced a variety of approaches to establishing improvised pieces; had fun with sounds, our voices, and words; worked with storytelling and sound (thanks Vicki Ross from Openstorytellers for the story!); shared lunch and had a good old fashioned chat.
More days like that would be good!
Rod gave us lots of little things to consider and take away ..... ranging from Edward Lear (B was a bat) to John Cage (if it's boring, just repeat it) to Pythagoras (pentatonic scales) to the Higgs Bosun particle (!), to Frank Zappa:
We remembered how much Lifemusic informs our work, and what fun it is to have the luck to work with music.
Heart Beats music is a Somerset club for younger adults with learning disabilities. Heart Beats is run by Count Me In. Our team give you the support and opportunities to have friendly fun and play live music on real instruments. Our 'AllStars' project is about playing, leading and teaching music. It’s called 'AllStars' because we believe everyone is musical. We're supported by Youth Music, using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
welcome to Heart Beats
