Ensemblekurs 2
workshopsprache:
Englisch
During this ensemble workshop we will learn
some of the finest melodies and most inspiring
tunes from the wonderful world of folk and
traditional music.
After learning the melody (by ear!) we will
focus on the groove, character and
ornamentations we need in order to forge
everything into a swinging orchestra.
We will explore the underlying chords and
harmonic structures together and from there we
will explore what the lead melody is asking
for: a smart bassline? A chaotic
counter-voice? Some rhythmic extras? An open
spot for a wild solo? No one knows where the
journey will take us, but exactly thàt will
make this workshop a fascinating trip.
In any case, arrangements are made based on
the instruments/levels presented in the
workshop, so we will always get a unique
bandsound in which each musician has his own
place.
Please note – This is a workshop for musicians
who already have some experience and who can
learn a melody by ear.
