Make Music Day invites truly anyone to create music on June 21.
Taking this idea to heart, composer and ukulele virtuoso James Hill has devised a project that lets anyone write music and explore sound using only a sheet of paper.
Following his instructions for Music For Paper, anyone can hand out blank pieces of paper on Make Music Day, and invite passersby on your block – or customers at your store, or patients in your waiting room – to form bands on the spot and make music together using only the sound of the paper (hitting it, shaking it, crumpling it, ripping it, etc).
Watch the videos on his website to learn how to lead the event, and download audio backing tracks to create your own Paper Symphony.
