Playshop Summary:
From the creators of an entirely new musical genre called "Natural Music" – Framily (family & friends) + Harmony-making through "true play" - making it up as you go - no mistakes - just beautiful, peaceful, harmonious music.
You owe it to yourself to become a truly whole person, by:
(1) seeing, with the help of the Magical Musical Spiraled Seashell, the Dancing Seahorses, the 7 Arrowed Dove and others, the simplicity of this system of musical harmony.
(2) experiencing your own innate ability to create beautiful, relaxing music - without practicing, discomfort, having to keep the beat or read a note - on a variety of new and traditional instruments.
(3) making music alone and along with others in new, non-performance ways throughout each day.
At the end of the class, the group will create, together, a beautiful symphonic piece entitled "An Ode to Nature."
And, you'll experience a new instant success, no fingerings chording method for any guitar, banjo, or ukulele (please see
Guitar Simplified for additional information) and you'll see how easy it is to play chords in the Key of C on any keyboard. Once again, for purely creative endeavors, or if you want to sing-a-long to some of the songs you love.
Experienced musicians and music educators will find this new musical genre most enlightening as well.
Spread a little peace and harmony through your
innate creative musical powers. Your life will be forever enriched!
