Three Blind Mice

What pupils experience

Three Blind Mice are also three young dads who love music and enjoy sharing with children the things that fascinate them too: listening, playing together, inventing and telling a story through sound. In Silence, Action… Jazz!, pupils watch short films on a large screen while the trio creates the music and sound effects live. They see both the film and the musicians making its sound world in real time. The session naturally opens onto rhythm, improvisation, the relationship between image and music, instruments, sound effects and the way three musicians coordinate to bring a scene to life. Depending on the setting, it can continue with discussion or a short participatory activity.

Formats this session can take

Concert encounter

Live music, close contact with the artists and conversation that gives pupils ways into the music.

Participatory session

Rhythm, listening, improvisation and ensemble work — no requirement to already play an instrument.

Music + image

Musicians together with Francesca’s image and interview work where it helps, which can lead to a small audiovisual piece.

Longer cycle or residency

Several encounters to listen, practise, make and share.

The artists

This session grows out of Three Blind Mice’s own artistic practice rather than a separate education show. For the line-up, recordings and full biography, see the artist page.
