About the event
This workshop weekend will hone in on the essentials of good ensemble playing - listening, reacting, making engaging arrangements, creating shape and space within an arrangement, and building tension to keep the audience on their toes!
You will be working in small mixed instrument groups with each of our tutors to prepare sets of tunes that you can perform together as a band. The programme includes a tutors’ concert on Sunday afternoon with the opportunity for each band to perform for an audience!
What our expert tutors will cover:
How to put an ensemble together
How a good ensemble works
How to find and create your voice in an ensemble
