Interview topic:
Tapping into Your Creative Genius Through the Transformative Power of Music Improvisation
“I’ve always been a ‘yes and’ person.. it came easier for me and when I stand in front of a group of corporate engineers that somebody thought it would be a great idea to do a drum circle and movement, they weren’t in it! like WHAT?!? A$&(#*??? I have to remember that what’s comfortable to me is likely not comfortable at all to them and I’m asking them to do something that’s very brave and very scary.”
Gift:
I am inviting you to register for a FREE participatory online Music Circle webinar, titled Fill Your Home With Music, scheduled for this Saturday, April 11th, at 1pm Eastern Time.
As we all seek to discover a new way of reaching out during these unique times, we will connect online, and explore ways to create music in the moment. I am honored to be part of an international team of Music for People staff who will be presenting this unique webinar. I will be joined by two amazing Music for People teachers; Clíodhna Ní Aodáin (Ireland/Switzerland) and Irene Feher (Quebec, CA). I hope you will join the three of us while we Fill Your Home With Music.
You will also receive a PDF download of many activities that I spoke about in my interview, plus some of the fundamental Music for People philosophies that have changed my life over the past 30 years. I am also including a slide presentation with video links to several of the activities as well
