Well known and
well-respected Durban music educator, Elizabeth Oehrle, has just published Creative Musicking, a book for all,
especially educators, who wish to use creative music-making to develop their
own, or their students’, creative potential and broaden their concept of music.
The starting point
for each series of lessons is the musical experience based on the musics of
Africa, India and the West. Sound is the medium of instruction. Each lesson is
devised so that readers are active in discovering their own creative potential
along with characteristics of the different musics.
By experiencing
different musics and understanding a little about their construction, readers
will begin to appreciate musics about which they may know very little. Understanding,
appreciating, and enjoying differences in musics is one way of opening doors
between people. It is one way of realizing that cultural diversity is a cause
for celebration.
