Tuning in - a reflection thread.

This term I led the weekly staff Music CPD at @Stjoscranleigh. Here is the visual structure of the session and 3 provocations for discussion (the third being a quotation of John Cage). 1/17

Imagine an upright piano left in a cold warehouse for decades. I once found one in canal-side craft studios in Hebden Bridge. Its whole tonality had slipped sideways, some notes further than others, so its once perfect harmonies shimmered instead like a mirror under water. 16/17
