Description

Online Series of 5 Sessions – Starting 12th September 4pm – 5.20pm UK Time, Drop-In’s Welcome

Attune your mind and body through the discovery of new music alongside an exploration of guided meditation-to-music and expressive exercises.

All Welcome! We shall develop our listening skills through the practice of guided musical meditations to focus and centre our mind. Using mindful exercises we will spend time learning new techniques to help with stress, anxiety and relaxation. You will be invited to join in expressive musical exercises exploring the internal and external sounds of your voice, breath and body. We shall also spend time exploring and discussing musical ideas, styles and theories in the hope of deepening and influencing the way you approach music. Through an exploration of new sound worlds, you will have the opportunity to expand your musical knowledge and tastes. Each week the class will host a guest performer or composer to discuss and share their personal music to introduce you to a diverse pallet of music and performances. Guests include:

1. Emily Abdy, Composer (19/09)
2. Matt Phillips, Cellist (26/09)
3. David Flannagan, Jazz Bassist and Composer (03/10)
4. Max Thomas, Saxophonist (10/10)
5. Millie James, Composer (17/10)

This course requires no experience in meditation or musical understanding, simply an open-mind and open-heart. We shall create a safe space to share, discuss and communicate through the ancient language of music. I look forward to exploring the infinite world of music with you.
