Creative Music Manual

Creative music manual is a 'tool kit' of over 80 composition and improvisation projects, workshops and events and community music sessions, with resources, tips and examples based upon actual results, gathered from more than three-and-a-half decades of practical creative experience. Exploring many musical, social and communication skills, this book is for youth clubs and youth groups; care homes and day centres; schools; villages and community groups; working with local authorities; hospitals; as GCSE and A level composition ideas; music tutors; ensembles and amateur orchestras; summer schools and evening classes; anyone interested in exploring creative music ideas, short-term or long-term, with a minimum of fuss - all the kinds of people, places and circumstances for whom and in which these projects have been tried and tested for over three decades . There is also help for project leaders and their assistants and trainees to be prepared to run with ideas from the floor as well as give permission to participants to be themselves and this achieve effective and perhaps astonishing results.
