Musicality Now

247: If it makes you laugh, GOOD! (with Jeffrey Agrell)


Listen Later

We're joined by Jeffrey Agrell, a returning guest on the show, and one of our absolute favourite music educators. Jeffrey has authored half a dozen books providing "games" which serve as a gateway into creativity and improvisation - even for the most buttoned-up, perfectionist classical players!

In this short conversation before his Musical U masterclass on Rhythm Improv Games, Jeffrey shares:

• Why one of his best character traits is... having a very high tolerance for looking foolish!

• An elegantly simple definition of Creativity: "it just means 'do something different'."

• And why something you play seeming silly or making you laugh is actually a GOOD thing.
