Band Workshops
"Music is intimately connected with the
essential relations between beings"
The Li Ji (Book of Rites) edited by Confucius (Chinese philosopher)
Overview
Being in a band is unquestionably an exhilarating experience. This completely original workshop has been designed so that everyone can do just that. In a nutshell, we take a group without any necessary musical experience and get them to play guitar, bass, percussion, write a song and sing it - all in one session! To top this off, there is also the option to record a piece of music.
Details
The group will experience a working band's job of producing a piece of music, stage by stage, or working on a work in progress. The students will work through a series of tasks, learning new skills in music including:
- singing, rapping and/or song-writing
- basic practice of musical instruments and music writing methods
- breathing and vocal exercises to enhance voice & confidence
- percussion workshop tasks
-
having a chance to lead and conduct the group (great fun and builds confidence)
Specifications
