Participants at last year's workshops relax and improve their communication skills by dancing.
In July I’ll be conducting creativity and performance workshops at The Hartt School with conductor Glen Adsit, and you’re welcome to join us.
Here’s a workshop summary borrowed brazenly from The Hartt School’s terrific website:
Participants in this active workshop will learn to create music, teach students to compose music and conduct music using graphic notation. In addition, Michael’s mastery of Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques will help you gain confidence and excellence in performance.
CREATIVITY
Writing your own music using graphic notation will enable you to:
