Something i mentioned previously, which is (a) an extension of the Mr Elephant Workshop of the World idea, and (b) something i’m hugely excited about, is a website /idea that is currently in development called Share to Create. com. Here’s the tip of the iceberg, beautifully written by Dubber as part of the uce transfer of knowledge fellowship i’m involved with.

“Share to Create is a website that draws on the creative talents of ordinary people in local communities, and provides a platform to develop, share and promote those skills”

As it’s being currently being built, I can’t really go into much detail at this stage, though suffice to say there a many strands to the basic idea, all of which address different social needs, and while there are various similar ideas around, the project as a whole is only made possible by bringing the ideas and skills of some extremely skilled people together, which more and more is to creating it’s own niche.

Anyway, more on that later. Today i had the opportunity to put some of the idea in action in the real world, with my first skill sharing session with local singing teacher, Rebecca Schwarz. I swapped an hour of professional singing tutoring, for an hour’s cubase surgery, and suffice to say it went really really well!

I now have a new confidence and understanding of singing, and Rebecca can now confidently record her own vocals, whenever and wherever she likes.

Next week we are going for lesson two, with the added addition of recording a demo for her. Not only will be both be learning more of what we want to know, but with the added bonus of this recorded material, which is great for us both as it offers a potential remix possibilites.

Maybe it wont be long before i’m remixing my own voice. And for me that would be cool!
