Money Funk—Let Play Help You Find Scholarships
As funk combines a mixture of jazz, soul, and R&B, so does life: we are a mixture of many different influences and philosophies.
Creativity in music, math, writing, painting, any form of expression, demands the accident of play, allowing the free roaming of ideas and words and notes to find expression. And then a following of that play to see where it might lead.
If you ever find learning a new topic difficult, you might be trying too hard. If you can allow the element of play and games, you will find the learning much easier and memorable.
If you find looking for scholarships and other opportunities dreary, let elements of play and games enter into your search.
Try to apply for as many scholarships as possible from week to week: can you apply for two this week and try for three next week.
We will discuss how searching for scholarships could be like play—where a musician may play random notes and chords, hoping for a whisper, a spark of something greater if she or he follows a chord or a note to see where it goes.
We will explore scholarships for each student who attends this seminar.
