The Summertime Klezmer Course at Benslow
Concert:
6 June at 8pm |
Ilana and members of the London Klezmer Quartet return to Benslow Music for a residential summertime course designed for instrumentalists (including keyboard players) from all musical backgrounds, classical, folk or jazz.
Applicants must be of at least roughly grade 4 level (no formal qualifications needed), and an ability to read music helps, though it’s not essential.
LKQ’s coaching is all about interactive learning. They concentrate on repertoire and attention to melody, accompaniment and ornamentation, and if appropriate will also introduce dance elements to the course.
Oral and aural learning methods will help those unfamiliar with it acquaint themselves to the style more quickly. Putting music into its historical context is an important part of the course, as is the telling of stories of musicians past and present.
