"To be able to engage in deep listening to the world around you-- and you might start hearing overlaps. So the bird on top of the rain on the window pane creates-- maybe it creates a melody, maybe it creates a counter melody, which are musical terms, but it's a natural phenomenon. It's the idea of wonderment... And I think kids especially are more primed to want to play and wonder and explore. So just invite that in the world around you." - Ashleigh Gordon the co-founder, Artistic Director, and violist of Castle of our Skins. Learn more about the intersections between music, education, and creative expression, the inspiration behind founding Castle of our Skins in our latest Big and Little Podcast, Music as Expression, Exploration, and Celebration.
