This experience encourages self-expression through improvisation and reflection. Jam with your clients by turning their true statements into music.
Instructions:
- Start Am Em G chord progression, invite your client to share one true statement
- Jam with your client’s true statement, using mirroring, text painting with your voice, additional instruments used by client, and prompts.
- Prompt examples:
- What does that sound like in the music?
- How does that feel in your body?
- Prompt examples:
- When the jam feels complete, move to a quick bridge and invite your client to say “[TRUE STATEMENT], but sometimes…..” and fill in the blank at the chord change.
