Music for Everyone

Week 3, 4 | M, Tu, W, Th, F | Turner 208 | Ages 14 and up

This experiential workshop is based on the belief that everyone is musical and able to find joy in spontaneous music making. It's about fearlessly communicating what you feel, moment to moment. In an encouraging, non-judgmental environment, participants will have the freedom to create music mindfully and playfully. Free improvisation accesses our inner world of creativity, getting past the paradigm of right and wrong notes and is a metaphor for many other aspects of our lives.

Class Times

Bringing instruments of any kind is encouraged but not required.
