Musical Futures in China!

The Musical Futures International team are just back from our visit to China where it was a privilege to be there as guests of the China Musical Instrument Association, Best Friends Music and Culture and Dalian Fuyin Music. Supported by The NAMM Foundation, we worked with around 70 fantastic teachers in Shanghai and Dalian.

We mostly communicated through making music, just a few translated Musical Futures slides and a little help from a translator to assist with some of the directions. So we learned music through music!

One principle central to Musical Futures is to talk less, play more and we certainly put that into practice with some great musical outcomes and proof that Musical Futures really is transferable regardless of context. 

A BIG thanks to the CMIA, NAMM Foundation, Best Friends Music in Shanghai and Dalian Fuyin Music in Dalian and all the teachers we met and worked with.
