Monday
Cold Monday in Huddersfield, but warm people. Visited the nursery school and met Emma and Isobel and visited the space, which will be warm and cosy, and saw the 'new' piano that has been donated. Barry later was tuning it and was very glad when we said that it didn't need to be raised to concert pitch. It is very flat and battered.
Planning the project at Huddersfield Uni. The team is me - composer and musician, piano player and melodica. Bob - actor, director, improvisor, film-maker and much more. Jac - speech therapist and educational interest in early years and playful. Pat - composer and musician, guitar, bass.... We all have different interests and expertise, but a real desire to see what happens when we explore creativity with three year olds and then analyse this and take the upcoming ideas and work on them with adults.
We spent some time discussing how we might notate and describe the new techniques. if we are too detailed will this give enough scope to the adults in their creativity and will it reduce the possibility of mutations, which is of course one of the main ways in which we evolve and change.
