Engaging the Community
In reply to Yvonne’s comment on my Day 3 post :
Yvonne, thank you for your comment, and as far as any special ‘ability’ or insight I may have and whether the technique is transferable to another, all I can say is: Ha! Absolutely. Not only are others doing this, but differently, and in many cases, adding improvements and their own signatures. Composers may seem more readily equipped to work with kids’ creativity, but we have seen instrumentalists, dancers, vocalists doing wonderfully as well. And of course, I learn from THEM. As long as the mentor is willing to expect the unexpected, use personal contact and live music (incl jazz and hiphop, by the way), the kids really are unstoppable. More on this later, and thanks!
