Philip Glass and the Yellow Cab

What You'll Learn

• Understand what 'minimalism' means in music — using just a few notes and simple patterns, like building a huge sand castle with only three shapes of buckets
• Learn about the 'additive process' — how adding just ONE note at a time, so slowly you barely notice, can completely transform music, like watching a tower of blocks slowly change color
• Discover that Philip Glass drove taxis and fixed plumbing while becoming a famous composer — because following your creative dream sometimes means doing other jobs to pay the bills
• Experience how repetition isn't boring — it's hypnotic, like ocean waves, and it changes how time feels when you listen
• Learn that Glass traveled to India and studied music there, showing how great artists learn from cultures all around the world
