The School of Music & Imagination – Discovering your natural ability

School of Loving Music

Sat, 21 Nov, 2pm – 8pm

On the 21st or November, we’ll be introducing you to the premise that you’re either creating music from your assumptions or your imagination, and, using this process, we will lead you to discover your natural ability.
You’ll learn how to build the bridge of innocence, so you can shift the power from your assumptions to your imagination at will. You’ll learn how to be grounded in your imagination, by exploring where your assumptions and your imagination come from.
