Four-week course beginning on Thursday 4th November 2021
Minimum do
nation £40
After a break from playing together for a while, Blow
zabella got back together to celebrate an anniversary, after which ´Octomen
to´ was born! The album features tunes that have gone on to become part of
the tradition, including ´To the Edges´, ´Robins´, ´Origin of the world´ an
d ´De Montford´, to name just a few.
During this course, we will
look at some great melodies and styles of tunes. We will cover four tunes,
but I haven´t picked which ones yet, so if you´ve got any favourites that
you´d like to cover, let me know! All instruments and abilities are welcome
.
LEARNING ONLINE
Before each session, I will s
end you:
- a PDF of the tune - with some suggested chords, if no
ne have been noted before
- MP3 recordings of the tune, played by myse
lf in the appropriate key - including a recording of a small arrangement an
d of the tune played slowly
During the sessions, you will then l
earn the tunes with me. You will also have the chance to work together to c
ome up with a unique ensemble mix. I will do a basic arrangement and, where
chords have been noted in advance, I will suggest chord progressions. Howe
ver, that´s just to get us started, and the rest is up to you!
O
nce we´ve come up with an arrangement, you will be able to spend the time b
etween sessions recording your parts, before submitting them to me to compi
le a mix.
HOW THESE ONLINE COURSES WORK
My onli
ne courses allow you to work together to create an ensemble recording with
your fellow participants. You could be in an ensemble with people from the
UK, mainland Europe, the USA and more - not something we can manage physica
lly very often these days!
For instrumental courses, we will dec
ide as a group about the arrangement we want to create. After the first ses
sion, you will have the opportunity to create an MP3 recording of your chos
en part and submit it to me. I will then create a recording with all of you
in it, and you will get an MP3 copy of any recording we make.
I
n week 2, we will learn a new tune, but also go back and play through the f
irst one, this time hearing the whole group recorded in the mix. This will
allow us to hear what we sound like together, even when we´re based many mi
les apart!
Here´s an example of a track created from an online i
nstrumental ensemble last year:
