    LIVE MUSIC NOW SCOTLAND WORKSHOP

    Ave Maria/El Choclo

    Brief introduction

    Callum Morton
    Roberto Kuhn
    LMN Scotland

    How is an LMN in care homes different from a normal concert

    Ask students
    -Place where it happens -> It is not a venue, can be common room, living room cafeteria (noisy)
    -Audience -> not the typical concert goer, dementia, hearing impediments
    -What to do then:
    1. Adapt to the space
    2. Adapt the space to your needs and to your planned activities
    3. Face obstacles or incorporate them to the performance

    Main difference is the GOAL or OBJECTIVE


    Ask students
    Its not about your personal performance, its about being able to connect and engage with the audience

    In order to make your audience engage you have to:


    -Choose repertoire wisely (be flexible and open to arranging)
    -Activities: singing, clapping, rhythm exercises, storytelling
    -Make them experience your instrument close by, if some of them can play let them
    -Communicate with the STAFF and make them participate

    Wild Mountain Thyme

    Difficulties (double edged swords)

    1. Staff indifference/staff participation


    2. Audience Alienation/audience integration
    3. Residents health (dementia, hearing impediments)/Musical therapy

    Final Thoughts

    -Most challenging and most rewarding experiences for musicians


    -Possibly it’s the highlight of their week or month so make it a good one!
    -Be flexible and respectful

    Very Important the BEFORE and AFTER the concert tea and biscuits
