A16 Stage Fright
Level 3,4
Mette Laugs (NL)
During these workshop/sessions we will talk, practice and work together about how to present yourself at your own level on stage.
How can you deal with stage fright? What happens in your body and mind and how affects this to your playing?
What approach can help you to overcome or deal with it.
You can join these lessons with every level of playing, with a little, a lot, or without stage fright.
It will be pro-active lessons in a safe environment, where experimenting is paramount.
A17 Dutch Courage
Level 4
Gerard Sars (NL)
Double quartet, we hope to find eight players who also can be separated in two choirs (and some reserves who possibly double the low voices of each choir): a high tuned choir in 4 voices SS-S-A-T, and a low tuned choir in 4: A/T-B-Q-DDB.
We’ll study music from Sweelinck (e.g. Psalm 33 à 8) to Badings.
A18 Greek traditional music
Level 4
Spyros Marinis (GR)
The content of both my classes is teaching Greek music to both intermediate and advance level pipe players.
That includes a number of ensemble tunes (mostly SATB), with complex time signatures that I have already composed and published in two books.
The time signatures are 4/4 (grouped 3+3+2), 5/8, 7/8 etc.
The tunes are a variety of well-known traditional Greek songs that cover all the regions and islands of Greece.
As Greek music is usually monophonic, I have adapted each tune for a larger ensemble, giving each pipe an important role to play and highlight each tune without changing its identity.
