Tunes with Improvisation group workshop will build upon the repertoire of attractive melodies from various treasure troves of music for string instruments. We will adhere to the “from practice to theory” principle and take some time every second workshop to theoretically break down the tunes and provide exercises for structured improvisation on their individual parts or for using shapes from these tunes in improvisation on a different repertoire.

The workshop can also be attended via Skype.
