Living Musically

What role does music play in our lives? Can music teach us something about how to live? Dr Tom Cochrane and Faisal Gill discuss how musical improvisation gives us a model of freedom that we can recreate in everyday life. Of particular importance is the idea of working with what we have to hand, rather than imposing a sense of how things are supposed to be. This idea is applied to the use of one’s emotions in a generative way.
