I remember music lessons in the early 80's, we were encouraged to create the sounds of the wind, animals, space. it captured my imagination. One of the most important lessons in music, imagination

The experimental theatre piece about cholera gets super intense at the end! I see echoes of early film like Batteship Potempkin, mask/dance work of Oskar Schlemmer and the Bread & Puppet Theater, electronic soundtracks like Forbidden Planet and the work of John Cage, all made by kids-SO GOOD!

in a society that promotes this kind of learning, it was obvious that they would end up having Aphex Twins, Cabaret Voltaires, Autechres, Adrian Sherwoods...

Stunning footage and so important! Recalling my study of A-level Music - we had zero access to things like this, that was during the 90s. By the time i went onto University, everything was so tech based, i feel i missed out on an important hands on exposure to the creation of sound. I teach kids Music, and i'm well aware that for some, it's just a complete doss around. I wonder if children realise the value, the social and cultural purpose of music....

I agree so much. I am even trying right now to decide if I can be accepted to do a PhD and include this film and similar groups as part of a research plan; books, films, and so on. Brian Dennis has so sadly passed on. I have no idea if anyone continued as his protégé. I wish I could figure that out.

Now thats called breaking the old conservatory musical rigors. Expanding the instruments beyond what they are/where expected to be used for. Brilliant and pioneering stuff especially incorporating the creative minds of youth. Eno got the hint!

This film is an incredible look into the style that Brian Dennis sought to enable children to access music in such a creative, provocative avant-garde style. It’s important that we can still do this, albeit beyond what schools and modern education (which is now dumbed downed greatly) currently teaches. Timeless and very powerful creativity.

Sound-pictures gives clues to creative and central idéas on how to rehearsal and organize sound material and develop storytelling. Sir Roy Cooper You are a HERO. You seem so encouraging.

I always think, go around with recorder. Record a lot of interesting sounds. Use a sampler or similar device/software to make music with. You can augment the recorded sound with synths or anything else you fancy. Many years ago, people did this sort of thing with tape, and it's much easier now.

I've transcribed a short excerpt of talk covertly recorded during class. "What are we doing here? Seriously, what the fuck are we doing here? All I know is I better get an A for this shit. Billy, you're in tune. Sorry professor. Is he crazy? I don't know. I think he might be into to some pretty heavy drugs." When these students were confronted with this tape, they promptly submitted it as a class project under the title "Concerto for Elephants" and were rewarded an A.

+Tom McRand... hi dude... not always although specific funds are often allocated depending on the school system. For instance a high school near us is a train wreck with regards to many aspects of education yet they do have quite an advanced music program which is a good thing for the very few kids who are intellectually advanced and have an interest... the rest of them listen to crap on their devices and cop sum rock-bottom attitudes.

I'm guessing you're not really familiar with music concrete then, which is what this is. It actually falls under the category of contemporary music and if you study music in school you would learn about music concrete along with other contemporary music as well as jazz, classical, romantic and barock. However when it comes to rock n' roll its not really covered because its not really considered "art" music which is usually what formal institutions would teach.
