MUSIC - Daphne Moody - musical expression as a form of communication - Salisbury, Wiltshire.

Course: 1 Day

One-day courses are offered on company premises to larger groups of personnel. Using techniques employed by writers, musicians and actors, these courses explore the way in which words, melodies and actions can move us deeply. How do we communicate and how (in)sensitive are we to the impact of our communication upon those around us?

Daphne Moody, leader of The Eberle Quartet, introduces this music workshop with an opportunity to listen to, enjoy and take part in a wide variety of musical styles and structures.

The ways in which we LISTEN are identified. How do sounds transport the imagination? What tunes do we use in our everyday speech in order to communicate more effectively? How does music bind disparate groups together?

A few instruments such as percussion, tonechimes and the human voice will be used as a way of involving the participants in creative music making.
