**NEXT WORKSHOP DATE**
Date: Saturday, April 17, 2010
Time: 2:00pm – 4:00pm
In this music-making experience, we will use our body, voice, and breath to explore the universal elements of music. Some simple instruments will be available for participants to use, and you are welcome to bring your own musical instruments. However, the focus of this class is the discovery of new and spontaneous ways to experience rhythm, melody, mood, harmony, and listening in our own bodies, as well as the collaborative process of creating music.
No prior music experience necessary!

Comments from participants in previous classes:
There is a real value and a need for what you are doing. I sometimes feel frustrated trying to impart my knowledge of rhythm and melody to people with less experience so you have shown me a very usable lesson format. Thank you Lisa. Hope to see you again soon! – James
I really enjoyed this experience – I loved your concepts about how music is traditionally taught which can have a very negative effect on people. This was very enjoyable and a safe environment to explore our voices. A very pleasurable experience. Thanks for much! – Roslyn
Good job establishing a “safe” non-judging atmosphere. Good range of covering and introducing different musical concepts. Fun activities – handbell keyboard, ending improv song circle, rhythm, meditative slow songs.
Thank you, Lisa. Had a great time. My favorite part was the free-form music making at the end. The theory parts were less engaging to me – but I suppose built up to that. I also liked the agreeing on a note with a partner – all the “feel the music” exercises had the biggest impact on me. – Jeannie
I thought it was a great class and it really pushed me out of my comfort zone (in a good way). I love music but the idea of being a musician is very unfamiliar to me so this definitely was a way to get my musical soul together without being embarrassed or intimidated. – Eugene C.
It was a wonderful class. Really made me think about music in a very new way, and rearranged some neurons — in a good way. – Pidge M.
Very fun session today. I didn’t really know what to expect, but I was looking for something different to expand my mind and experiences, and I did find that. Thanks! – Jen P.
