Last Thursday I packed my bag and traveled to the eastcoast, that´s where I grew up by the way. I´ve been talking to the head master of the music education of Högalids Folkhögskola, Anna Brewitz, for a while now, about me visiting the school and talk to the kids about the University of Music and life afterwards. The kids are not kids, really, they´re more like 20-26. But anyway, I got the chance to pop by last friday and we had an amazing time. There where about 10 students present and they where really nice and TALENTED! After talking alot, discussing music and singing, we did this execise where everyone stands in a ring and someone does a short rythmic thing and repeats it, over and over again. And then the next person adds something on top of that, anything that the person feels like. And then it continues like that until everyone does something and wonderful music appears! Seriously, I was very impressed by them. So many innovating ideas. It was great!
In the end we talked about creating music and everyone said that they write music, more or less. That´s really gratifying, I´m very happy that they strive for finding their own way of expressing themselves. Like a finish, I played a song from my upcoming CD. They where the first once to hear it and I hope they liked it.
Thank you very much Högalid for having me! I had a blast!
