Program structure
Part 1
Painting with intuitive music
At the beginning of the program, the goal is to help the children relax. All children are provided with paper and colored pencils/felt-tip pens. The pianist Michael Odermatt, known professionally as “MiKey”, (pianist of “Dust of Soul”) starts to play the piano intuitively. His compositions are created in the moment, guided by his perception of the children and the space. The children now have the task of listening to the piano-playing and expressing themselves through painting, sketching or drawing.
Part 2
Creating a story and a melody
The first part is about creating a story based on each painting. This way each child contributes their own ideas. The drawing of each child serve as the basis for this. In the second part, the story is spoken with emotions. The children can practice telling parts of the story with their own feelings and ultimately forming them into a singing melody. The aim is to find a simple basic melody that all children associate with the story.
Part 3
Composing music to the melody
The story now becomes music. In the first part, the basic melody is found and played on the piano. By playing the melody on the piano, the scale can be defined and the harmonies created upon it. In the second part, the singing is rehearsed together with the piano. Rhythmic elements may be integrated such as rattling, clapping, snapping.
Part 4
Performing as a group
Now each group shows their song to the other group in the form of a performance. The group is accompanied by Dusty on vocals and MiKey on the piano. Every performance is live recorded with a professional recording device. After the performance, each group receives their song as a digital music file. This way the children have the opportunity to hear and sing “their song” again at any time, so that they can independently activate their own power through the music.
