The fourth Creative Learning pack from Bury Music Service is available here. Based on the resources from BBC Ten Pieces, we look at Music for 18 Musicians by Steve Reich.
Smashing musical boundaries, trailblazer Steve Reich mixed together his classical training with his love of African drumming, jazz and pop music, and helped to invent a whole new form of music: minimalism.
His innovations have created the rich, diverse musical world we live in today.
