May 2019 – Godalkanje

When? Once a week 60 – 90 minuts (except during school holidays). The exact date will be known after the applications are received – presumably on Wednesday afternoons. Where? Trnovo, Ljubljana Mentors: Bojan Cvetrežnik, Barja Drnovšek, visiting mentors of Godalkanje For whom? For all the string players and all players of rhythm section (bass, guitar, ukulele, accordion …)

The workshops are expected to take place on two levels of difficulty and are suitable for all ages:

Namuznjeno Godalkanje: for all of you who master the repertoire for the 3rd grade of lower music school.

Hobi Godalkanje: for all of you who master the repertoire for the 5th grade of lower music school.

What? At the Godalkanje group workshops, we teach content that is not yet widely available in our country. We draw mainly from the treasury of violin tunes of different nations. We learn by listening, following chords, performing different techniques (‘chops’, jig, swing, different ornamentation …). We refresh the learned repertoire at street performances and in concert halls. More information and applications: godalkanje@gmail.com

When? From 25th to 29th of June 2019

Where? Music school Laško Radeče, Valvazorjev trg 2, Laško

For whom? For all the string players.

Required level of prior knowledge: sovereign performance of the repertoire for the 2nd grade of lower music school.

For the sixth year in a row, immediately after the end of the school year, Godalkanje will take place in Laško as part of the Romanica Antiqua festival. The mentors will be Bojan Cvetrežnik and Barja Drnovšek. In the case of registered participants with different backgrounds, we will make two groups. We will introduce children to attractive tunes with the desire to strengthen technical stability, a sense of pulse, self-confidence in performance and the joy of playing. We will learn the technique of performing accompaniments by following a written chordal guide typical of jazz music. We will also pay attention to the safe physiological posture of children. We hope that the nice weather will allow us to play also in the nearby park or on the streets. If you have concerns or fears, you can contact us or those who had fear in previous years but no longer know it.

Registration fee: 150 €

We are happy that care for minors will be this year organized again. The organizer offers a favorable opportunity for a stay at the Laško Health Resort.

Last date to sign up is May 31, 2019.
