The Enchanted Kingdom of Music

By Chris Caton-Greasley LLCM(TD), MA(Mus)(Open)

I invite you to enter 'The Enchanted Kingdom of Music', where melody meets magic.

​

Imagine a world hidden within the very instrument that creates melody. I'd like to introduce you to a secret kingdom I found inside my piano—a vibrant realm accessible through passionate musical performance.

​

When you arrive in the Kingdom, you'll discover new species of plant life and beings known in the human world only through lore, myth, or fantasy. What makes this different? Listen closely: you hear the music of this world everywhere. In fact, some visitors to the Kingdom have proposed that the human world, nay, the entire universe, exists within a sound wave generated when the original sound volcanoes erupted and the first gems formed.

​

Many years passed, and these living crystals absorbed all sounds, becoming seeds of long-forgotten sounds. When collected and carefully germinated with focus, dedication, enthusiasm, and delight, each seed grows into an instrument. When that instrument is played with the same heartfelt feelings, the musician can enter the Kingdom to complete quests, make Musi-PALS, enjoy time in the meadows, and help the Musi-DRAGONS find the gems scattered during the dark times.

​

These were the days when the Modal Masters and Major-Minor battled for dominant sounds. That was in ancient times. Now, the Modal Masters and Major-Minor have reached an understanding: there is space for all sounds. Even the microtones, long thought lost, have recently reappeared in the Kingdom, much to everyone's surprise.

​

Anyway, enough from me—let me introduce you to the most amazing place I found, 'The Enchanted Kingdom of Music'. But first, you need to learn how to travel there.

Maestro, please…

King Regards,

Chris Caton-Greasley
