Music making could offer an open starting point for learners with different experiences. They might explore voice, everyday sounds, rhythms or available instruments before choosing what they want to create. The group would make decisions about its piece, try versions and listen to the result. A mentor would support each contribution and introduce useful skills when the project calls for them. Specific equipment and instruments would be confirmed before sessions begin.
