Description
Although the title of the course is "Gypsy violin", the subject is intended to be broader;
Above all, it is a matter of offering participants tools that will allow them to expand their ability to improvise and accompany spontaneously,
to become conscious players in the music, beyond the score...
In the end, to become more autonomous and thus be able to meet and play more easily with other musicians, whatever the style.
Swing or gypsy jazz of course offers, through its repertoire, a very favorable ground for this development on the violin.
We will cover articulation, language, style, swing, ear development and harmony.
The collective work will make it possible to approach these concepts directly on the instrument, the participants being in turn accompanists and soloists.
Everyone will therefore be able to evolve at their own pace and gradually discovering methods allowing more autonomy.
Level
All "levels" are admitted but a good knowledge of the first position is absolutely necessary
