Here Is ANOTHER Graph, Maybe Like the One YOU'LL Make

Here is a plan that a group of musicians assembled. They put the lists of terms on pieces of cardboard, and fanned them out under their corresponding sections of the outlining sentence. Taking about ten minutes discussing the concept & some of the terms, the sections were then chosen by consensus, and pinned onto a bulletin board to create the inspirations that everyone could see who was playing. Noticed these musicians used different terms than are in lists here, but what was important is that everyone was satisfied with how the terms they chose created interesting interpretations.

If you and your musician friends would like to participate in shaping how to play with AGame, please take a moment and contact me. I will be glad to meet with any group to explain and give your group an experience about how this works in exchange for the price of my travel costs to wherever you are. If you have marketing or educational ideas of how to help groups of musicians of all skill levels improvise together, let me know what we might scheme on together.

If you would like other copies of this explanation to interest other performers or musicians, have them call or write and I will send them this booklet for a minimal charge. I can't count how many copies of this booklet I've handed out for free in hopes of getting my friends and friends of friends interested in this great idea. If you got this for free, please think about donating to help me keep going. Then give me ten dollars. ;o) Thank you for taking the time to learn about this new way to play together that came to me in a dream. Please experiment, and please get back to me me about your findings!

Yours in harmony, Franis Engel
