Mary Lou Cook

Why Not Make Something Up?
for musicians
 
is an experiential workshop for high school and college-aged youth that teaches individuals how to develop and honor their unique creative abilities. The workshop focuses on applying four fundamental compositional elements -- melody, rhythm, ostinato (groove), improvisation – and results in a collaborative musical composition. Participants receive hands-on instruction in creating the piece from Daniel Arite.

An organic approach enables the work to go wherever participants direct it. The nurturing environment that Daniel creates encourages everyone to let loose, try something new, and most importantly, have fun!

The concert performance is optional and will require separate arrangements.

Why Not Make Something Up?
for non-musicians is
co-facilitated with Thandiwe Shiphrah

An experiential workshop that teaches individuals how to develop and honor their unique creative abilities.  It is suited for ages 13 though adult and does not require any prior musical training. This workshop begins with writing sessions to generate lyrics which are then set to music by the participants. By applying four fundamental compositional elements -- melody, rhythm, ostinato (groove), and improvisation, a collaborative song is produced. Singing is highly encouraged as the voice is everyones first instrument. Participants receive hands-on instruction in creating the piece from Daniel Arite. Additionally, 
writing exercises plus performance techniques are provided by poet/performance artist Thandiwe Shiphrah www.musewisdom.com .

An organic approach enables the work to go wherever participants direct it. The nurturing environment that Daniel and Thandiwe create encourages everyone to let loose, try something new, and most importantly, have fun!
