CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description The Darling Conversations explores the fundamental techniques of sound-making as an instrument of self-expression and personal growth. By approaching music from a philosophy of self-acceptance and joy, we can tap our inborn creative impulse and re-vitalize our music-making. The techniques and philosophy were developed over the last 20 years in the Music for People organization, a group that promotes a humanistic approach to the way music is taught, performed, and appreciated. This 3-CD set contains extensive conversations with Grammy-nominated cellist David Darling and Music for People chairperson Julie Weber, highlighted with over 80 examples of improvised, in-the-moment music. Darling and Weber take the listener through the basic techniques of creating improvised music, examine the basic forms and structures of improvised music from many cultures, and also explore specific topics such as how to improvise classical music.

CD ReviewsAnyone can learn to make beautiful music J. R. Bhuyan | Colorado | 12/04/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) ""Through dialog and many diverse beautiful music examples, "The Darling Conversations" CD set is a unique opportunity to hear the philosophy and learn the techniques of the greatly innovative teacher David Darling. Darling's deep love of all humanity and belief in the need, yearning and innate ability of each individual to make beautiful music, to have genius moments, has been the basis of teaching music improvisation for 22 years at Music for People. In this CD set learn how to begin with "One Quality Sound"; to develop and continuously use proper breathing techniques (even for instrumentalists!!); to explore the use and effects of different sounds (pitch, pulse, texture, styles, etc.); to become absorbed in your musical tones and to love the beauty of your sound; to abandon your fears, negativity, and inhibitions; to once again have the curiosity of a small child free of inhibitions...that "simple is good"...and, making music can be learned even by those with no previous musical background and at any age.
These techniques and philosophies have rid me of a decades-long fear of public performance....I now love playing for others and sharing my musical thoughts from deep within my heart and soul."" |
