Description

Through learning a repertoire ranging from traditional tunes to more contemporary grooves, we will cover the following:

  • hearing and playing basic harmonies
  • hearing and playing different rhythms
  • understanding the role of one's instrument within the ensemble
  • individual and group improvisation
  • a short daily listening and analysis session featuring recordings by major figures in the style, with a touch of musical history.

Learning by ear will be encouraged as much as possible. Sheet music will also be available if needed.

Lessons can be given in French, English, and Italian.
