Vision Music Workshop

Vision Music � Workshop

I created �Vision Music� because I needed a way for players of all levels to quickly improvise music that sounded beautiful without needing to know anything about harmony, that required no reading, and using a motif they could learn in 10-15 seconds.

I created it fast because I needed it for a 5-Day challenge. The goal? To free harp players from the notes on the page in a way that lets them truly listen to what they�re playing so they could focus on the �feel free� part.

It was a 5-Day Challenge, so I created 5 motifs. Some were almost like little musical games that anyone � even someone touching a harp for the first time � could play, so long as I pointed out a few strings to them.

I was blown away by the result: beautiful, fluid improvisations that gave harpists � of every technical level � a sense of freedom and self-expression.

Now I�ve turned it into a one-hour workshop that I�m sharing virtually in a collaboration with Harps, Etc. on Thu. May 20, at 3 pm Pacific, 6 pm Eastern.

�Vision-Music� Improv � is a way of using simple MOTIFS to improvise. It turns improvisation into a game you can play at any level of technical ability � a way to gently invite your inner creative spirit to come out to play. You don�t need to know a lot of music theory, read music well, or be a brilliant memorizer. �Vision Music� uses a creative toolbox of improv techniques to unlock the music of a simple musical motif. If you�re struggling to get started with improv � or looking for a completely new approach that frees you from the notes on the page, join me for Vision Music.

You�ll learn what VISION MUSIC is � and how to use the power of simple motifs to create entire improvisations
You�ll EXPERIENCE a completely different � and very powerful � side of music that�s not about getting the notes right or achieving yet one more level of technical ability � but about unlocking its power for transformation.
You�ll create your own VISION MUSIC � and walk away able to bring it alive for others, whether you�re playing for an audience of thousands � or one-to-one in hospice or therapeutic music situation � or just for the joy of playing for yourself.
