The Nebraska Arts Council commissioned me to create this program to teach folks how to find "instruments" and create music with found sounds from their own environment.

Years ago a student thanked me for teaching her how to "make music without going to a store". She is one of many who inspired me to create this video. Hope you enjoy!

In this video you will discover:

- Instruments in your own environment

- Explore found instruments and their sounds

- Improvisation (playing in the moment)

- Composition

- Your own sound story

- Music elements

- Sound (overtone, timbre, pitch, amplitude, duration), Melody, Rhythm, Texture, Structure/Form, and Expression (dynamics, tempo, articulation)
