Artistic idea

It is so much more simple to bring teenagers to love music and musical styles by going to their territories; that’s why BlueLine proposes an interactive awakening process illustrated by Walt Disney’s Classics songs.

During one hour, we satisfy the musical curiosity of children through an intelligent mixture of theory, complicity with the young generation and melodies from films they saw and appreciated.

The “lesson” is given by Xavier-Edouard Horemans, who plays the piano and teaches music in several Brussels music schools.

He gives short & easily understandable speeches of about 2 ‘ about:
  • the birth & history of jazz
  • its geographical & thematic evolution
  • the difference between African & European scales (with children singing)
  • distinguishing instruments & rhythms.

and joins the band to illustrate his comments.

Some music styles: Dixie, Swing, Afro Cuban, Bossa Nova, Waltz, Jazz Rock, Hot Jazz …

Children clap hands and dream of becoming musicians, a wonderful challenge for a so unjustly named “no future” generation!
