Unlocking our Creativity

We are the story tellers, we are the Communicators, we are musicians.

As musicians we have the gift to be that story teller, to carry that tune, to bring to the listener and ourselves something very special.

In this session we shall be working together to understand just how to unlock our Creativity through Storytelling.  We shall explore together well known tunes that are simple to understand musically, while deepening our understanding of their harmonic structure dynamics, repeated motifs and more.

When we can relate to the character of the music as a storyteller our world opens up and we see Mozart’s or Poulenc’s sonata in a totally different way.  This is our goal to take what we know and bring our understanding to another level.
