Mr. Rogers Introduces Kids to Experimental Electronic Music by Bruce Haack & Esther Nelson (1968)
"…to provoke our students to break through the limits of the conventional and the taken for granted, we ourselves have to experience breaks with what has been established in our own lives; we have to keep arousing ourselves to begin again." Greene, Releasing the Imagination |

How to Get Started: John Cage’s Approach to Starting the Difficult Creative Process Toward the end of his career, composer John Cage wrote, performed, and recorded a project on “How to Get Started.” Listen to samples from the recording and scroll through the different tasks found on “howtogetstarted.org." Imagine how Cage’s project might occur in a music ensemble or within a musical classroom. Imagine the whole process using improvised rhythms, pre-constructed melodies, prepared pianos, mashed tunes, spoken word poetry, etc. Imagine students improvising and creating music on such topics of beauty, social justice, robots, etc. |
