A Creative Collective for Participatory Music and Group Composition

-Meaningful Musical Encounters for all Ages and Experience Levels-

YAWP explores collaborative creative processes that enable people of all skill levels to make fun and expressive music together.  We devise musical events in public spaces that invite bystanders to become meaningful participants instead of audience members.  We also cultivate a group composition practice in which we compose, notate, rehearse and perform original pieces of music on the spot.  The goal is to welcome everyone into the heart musical collaboration regardless of age, skill level, or previous experience.
