way; sounds so produced; pleasant natural sound.

So: What is inspiration? What is music?
• What’s in the gap between inspiration and music:
Creativity? Routine? Sounds? Traditions? Innovations? Knowledge? Experiments? Know how? Obsession?
• Where is a place for Improvisation?
Page 7
CREATIVITY - a bridge from inspiration to music!

• Creativity is a mental process involving the discovery of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the existing ideas or concepts, fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity
Page 8
CREATIVITY - a bridge from inspiration to music!
• I think Creativity is an ongoing process. Creativity is an inspiration.
• I think Creativity is also a process of “Taking yourself to a Discomfort Zone – going beyond the limits of human perception, going for the unknown.”
• Am I creative? Are you creative? How to be creative in 21st century? Can we improve our creativity?
• What do you think?
