Learn from the band stand.
Intensive sessions
These intensive sessions focus on developing individual virtuosity and musicianship that is needed for ensemble playing. The key areas of focus include:
-
Theory /Practice
-
Hearing Rhythms
-
Exploration
-
Musical Painting
-
Improvisation
-
Repertoire/Performance
-
Band Leadership Skills
A major component of the workshop philosophy is that we teach and learn “from the bandstand”. Being able to study with professional musicians, who provide feedback raises the level of all the ensemble members playing, and participating in the group’s regularly scheduled performances fosters confidence – newly developed skills and progress are brought to a new level.
