How to Compose Music Taking Inspiration from Nature Part 1

Part of our Out of Doors Festival www.artsactive.org.uk/out-of-doors/ Join composer James Williams as he leads the first of 4 music sessions entitled "Making the Garden Sing". From Bach to Beethoven, from Mahler to Messiaen, so many of our great composers have taken the great outdoors as their inspiration. Whether you live in a city, a town, a village or in the country, your environment is packed full of delicious sounds waiting to be turned into music. In each 20min session, composer James Williams will learn from the great composers of the past and show you how you can make music inspired by the sounds you hear every day, using objects from around the home and garden.
