“A few key ideas + a stack of recycled paper = big fun.”

- Aaron Friedman

President, Make Music Alliance, Inc.

Music for Paper is a playful, high-impact creativity workshop where students dive into improvisation, composition, and collaboration using nothing but a single sheet of paper. No instruments. No apps. Just imagination, curiosity, and one humble piece of recycled paper.

In this workshop, identities fall away. Trumpeter? Guitarist? Non-musician? It doesn’t matter. Everyone starts from zero. What emerges is pure creativity in a shared, spontaneous, and supportive environment.

Led by James Hill and Anne Janelle, seasoned artists and passionate educators, Music for Paper is an unforgettable way to engage audiences beyond the stage. It’s a low-barrier, high-reward experience for venues looking to offer something truly hands-on, inclusive, and unlike anything else.

Q&A

Music for Paper is not your average music workshop. Not even close. For one, there aren't any instruments. All you get is a piece of paper. No rules. Just you, some new friends, a sheet of paper, and a whole lot of unexpected creativity.

You’ll crinkle, rip, fold, tap, swipe, and scrunch your way into sound. You’ll make beats, textures, and weirdly beautiful noise. You’ll jam with others (no experience required) and you'll leave your “I’m not musical” excuse at the door.

This is music-making for the curious, the shy, the bold, the nervous, and the confident alike. No wrong notes. No pressure. Just play. Led by James Hill and Anne Janelle of Champagne Weather, Music for Paper is part chill hang, part sonic adventure, and entirely unforgettable.
