Everything I do is informed by the field of Music Learning Theory. With developmental music learning I model and acculturate young listeners to the language of music, while they still learn intuitively. All musicians learn to audiate first as a path to music literacy or as an end in itself. Improvisation and creating music for right in with learning to feel music in one's body. It's a holistic approach that shows real evidence of learning, and its fun!
