Based on Music for People techniques this open kind of improvisation is a great fit for beginners and professionals alike. Inspiring and fun for performers, singers, teachers, dancers, and amateur musicians. No experience needed! If you want to develop and deepen your relationship to music by playing together, this session will give you the space and time needed to dive into the world of rhythms, melodies and harmonies. The philosophy of Music for People promotes intuitive access to your own sense of musical play and presents ideas on how this love for music improvisation could be shared with others.
