Guiding principles

“In group improvisation we don’t do what we are supposed to do, but what we think is right in the moment. And to think something is right and to react correctly is not easy. It’s not absolute freedom, it’s concentration. I’m not obedient, I go the way I think is right.”

Lilli Friedemann, Pioneer in teaching improvised music, 1906 – 1991

“The goal of education is not to increase knowledge, but to create opportunities, to invent and discover, to produce people capable of doing new things.”

Jean Piaget, Psychologist, 1896 – 1980
