Let unexpected, delightful new genres bloom….

I first designed and taught workshops in meditative listening, group collaboration and improvisation, and ear-training in fundamentals of music back in 2020-2021. My workshops include games that are easily taught to family and friends. They start simple but quickly inspire and generate new sounds.

“What’s your favorite music?” “I don’t know — let’s find out together!!” In other words, let’s let new music into the world. Let’s collaborate and not consume. Collaborate and co-resonate and offer and share and enjoy.

I offered my first workshops at The Angel Wing in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Couples came, children came, individuals showed up; I got comments like “A transcendent experience.”

Inspired by: Pauline Oliveros, Bobby McFerrin, New Games. Thanks to: W.A. Mathieu, Michael Friedmann, and all my Hearing teachers. Special thanks to Christy Abate of The Angel Wing.

Contact me to learn harmony, melody, rhythm, and more, all with games for recess, on road trips, on the street, in the forests and fields: Everywhere.
