#MusicApproach
Music is life. Living organization manifested through movement enacted on the physical world. ________________________________________________________________ 1st: Prayer (Vision) - Internal sources of knowing. Meditation, talking to yourself... 2nd: Inspiration (Listening) - Intaking input from outside. Receiving information from external sources. Outside sounds, sights, stimulus. 3rd: Engagement (Play) - Organizing life in real time through transmutation of spiritual forces enacted on the physical world. —--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notation* Western Rhythmic notation. (horizontal/time) Staff notation (vertical soundscape) ____________________________________________________________________ Application.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Children instinctively play - which is the root of performance. Abstractions in the way of notational devices, theoretical concerns, technical considerations, and the like are useful for isolating particular elements for improvement: but, at the end of the day play is what is important. I try to connect with every student where they are and encourage a healthy exchange of ideas as well as musical and philosophical approaches. |
