The String Camp of the year
Are you a string player who got stuck trying to improvise? A player looking for new ways of expression on your instrument? Or perhaps a string teacher, wanting to incorporate improvisation into your classes?
What to expect?
Three days of non-stop workshops, concerts and jams. You’ll work on improvisation, timing, phrasing, sound, expression, playing techniques and, if you’re a teacher yourself, how to incorporate improvisation in your teaching practice. Depending on your interest and level, you can spend more time on specific subjects with one or more teachers.
