LIFEMUSIC - Welcome to a world of sound participation!
The Lifemusic project is a community enterprise providing training, workshops, personal development and team building using a unique, inclusive and accessible form of creative music making.
ABOUT
Lifemusic practitioners provide creative and therapeutic music sessions for all in a non-judgmental, inclusive and enjoyable atmosphere.
Lifemusic is based upon 4 principles:
Everyone is musical
There are no wrong notes in music
Every sound has a meaning
Making music is an act of trust
And there are four ingredients:
Improvisation
Participation
Communication
Celebration
A unique aspect of Lifemusic is the use of ‘Holding Forms’ – easy to grasp and accessible springboards which generate extended and exciting group
improvisation.
