Music and Science workshop
Exploring and contributing to the education of children - and grown ups!
The aim for this workshop is to enthuse and educate children and grown ups who are interested to explore creativity and knowledge through music.
We will investigate what SOUND is from both a scientific aspect and from an artistic aspect, when does sound turn into music?
How can we express music? through dance, art words and stories. This approach eventually opens up our understanding of music and art, and we become more open for new approaches.
Education should, in my view, be lifelong, writes AC Grayling. We should be seeking to learn and re- learn, to keep up to date, to challenge our own assumptions, to reflect, and to change our minds when logic and the evidence compel.
Few disagree with this sentiment, but few act on it either: an odd anomaly, given the pressure that rapid and complex change applies to us all in our speeded-up phase of history.
