What is the Musical Lab?

The Moving Orchestra’s Musical Lab is a series of free workshops for children running from November 12th 2022 - November 20th 2022 including a culminating performance, on experimental collective improvisation for children organized and taught by The Moving Orchestra's co-founders, Katherine Kyu Hyeon Lim and Joey Chang.

 

Experimental music is usually taught as something that lies at the end of a traditional music training path, but we find that wrong and want to encourage more kids to recognize they can play around with music and sound as art from the get go. Both of us are dedicated teachers, but this is the first time we are putting our pedagogy under the umbrella of The Moving Orchestra by sharing what we’ve learned as collective improvisers. 

Each session will present some tools and specific Black, POC, and women artists that have had great influence upon our own work. The workshops will have a spirit of no wrong answers, no gatekeeping, just sharing, in the style of “here's some stuff we know; now do what you want with it”.
