Blog Update: Blog #16: 由即興音樂看即興人生 From Improvisational Music to an Improvisational Life.
即興音樂是一種藝術, 絕對不只是在樂器上「求其」製造一些聲音出來. 即興音樂是一種即時性的音樂創作, 需要演奏者將當下的情感, 想法, 利用所有累積了的音樂知識和演奏技巧同一時候表現出來, 還要對周圍的環境, 人物, 其他演奏者作出音樂上的回應和溝通. 產生出來的音樂是浮動的, 沒有特定的軌道, 特定的聲音, 不知道音樂中有什麼元素會突然出現, 突然消失, 何時完結; 即興音樂是一剎那的流露, 那個時刻只會在時空中出現一次, 然後消失. 只有錄音才能夠將它保存下來. 如果將即興音樂「逐粒豆豉」記錄下來, 張那記錄下來的音樂再一次彈奏, 這個音樂已經不算是即興音樂.
Improvisational Music is an art, it’s definitely not merely random sounds produced on an instruments. It is a creative act that’s spontaneous, in-the-moment musical composition which allows the performer to express thoughts, feelings, mental state of mind as well as using all the accumulated musical knowledge and instrumental techniques, one also has to musically communicate and respond to the surrounding environment, people and other performer.

Blog Update: Blog #15 樂出真我 Who are you really???
你是誰? 這個好像是一個十分無聊的問題, 一個好像是common sense的問題.…但是你真的知道你是誰?? 你有多了解你自己?? 知不知道你的一舉一動的源頭?? 知不知道有哪一些的人你會想逃避或些黐着不放?? 有什麼東西是你的推動力, 什麼工作或活動能帶給你人生意義??
Who are you? Do you know who you really are? How aware are you towards yourself? Do you know why you are acting the way you are, or feeling the way you feel? Do you know why you have a strong need to avoid or stick like a magnet with a certain type of people? Do we know what motivates us, energize us or the things that brings us fulfillment?

Blog Update: 部落格 Blog #10-「玩」音樂-音樂如LEGO, 是用來玩的. Playing and Musicking: Music is like Lego, it's for playing.
「玩」究竟是什麼意思? 想一想這個詞的含義, 其實在中文文字和文化裏, 這個字好像不太常用。「玩」其實同一個人的創造力有分不開的關係。
What does ‘playing’ means to you? I think the word itself already convey so much of its nature in the English language. Playing actually goes hand in hand with creativity.
韻創樂集 相信音樂的力量，相信在音樂世界中人能夠找回真實的自我, 激發個人潛能；更相信音樂是人與人之間原始的互動，無論能力、技巧和年齡，都能在音樂世界中自由表達，相互連繫。
Inspirem Music & Therapy believes the power of music to inspire, empower and transform individuals through musical interaction, where one can freely express themselves and to realize one's full potential regardless of abilities, skills and ages.
