Songwriting and composition workshop.

A harpsichord and/or clavichord course is an opportunity to immerse yourself for a week to discover, deepen and enrich the playing of an ancient instrument, to have another approach to the keyboard.

A week to build and deconstruct. Twisting and turning. Speaking and creating silences, a week of discoveries in plastic art, speech art and movement.

Introduction to free improvisation, without restrictions of style, level or instrument. Discoveries of tools for composing in a simple way collectively, making the best use of each person's abilities. Application of improvisation in the reproduction of these pieces. Allows you to discover areas of freedom with your instrument/your voice. For all those who have always wanted to be creative, free with their musical language but who are looking for access keys. This course is also a space of tolerance and fruitful exchanges to evolve in a global artistic research.

Together with a team of musicians who already have some experience, Toine puts together a repertoire during the duration of the course (mornings and afternoons). In this workshop, we focus on groove, incorporating elements of electronic music among "traditional" instruments.

It is a course with many facets (and possibilities): introduction to / deepening of composition and writing techniques (harmony, counterpoint, etc.); assistance in a composition project; initiation to orchestration

The lessons will be given, in part, on the large instrument of the Saint-Pierre church in Bastogne (1989). You are a beginner, experienced or curious keyboard player, don’t hesitate!

The day will start with a group lesson, semi-group and more individual lessons will take place later in the day.

We invite you to explore unexpected repertoires, with a well-stocked music basket, improvisation with 3, 4, 5 or 8 hands... all this in a joyful, playful and friendly atmosphere.

From ear to instrument, from solo to group
