Upcoming Workshops
Live Your Music - Facilitated Improvisation Jams
Rhythms Rising - Sound Unfolding - Harmonies converging. Every session is a unique and joyful musical synthesis of all who attend.
The 120-minute sessions are open to people 16 years and older, all levels of musical experience welcome! Bring your instrument, or hand percussion instruments will be provided.
As a regional Music for People facilitator and Musicianship Leadership trainer, I believe that EVERYONE can improvise. Take the plunge, energize yourself with sound, connect with like-minded creative people.
Color and Sound - Harmony Intensive - Improvisation Class
With free improvisation we will explore harmony by drawing parallels between how different notes, like colors, relate to each other. Sometimes the effects are pleasing or soothing, and sometimes they are stunning or jarring.
In sound we will explore the following color concepts:
-
Complementary colors, colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel such as red and green, blue and orange, or yellow and purple.
-
Analogous colors: those that lie next to each other on the color wheel, such as yellow, green and blue, creating a more harmonious effect.
-
Triadic colors, yellow, blue and red. They balance each other, and when combined create many hues in between.
-
Monochromatic colors, using different shades and tints of one color an entirely different effect is created.
-
Grayscale - how would we imagine all the shades of gray in sound.
