"Music Diving" in improvisation!

with Haroula Tsalpara

"Foivos Anogianakis" Greek Music Center is organizing a series of three three-hour sessions focused on the art of musical improvisation. The primary aim of the seminar is to equip participants with the essential knowledge to incorporate improvisation, specifically taqsim, into their musical expressions. The seminar draws examples from illustrative songs within the popular repertoire of taverns, celebrations, and café aman, where improvisation plays a vital role. Each session will feature a circle-hug, fostering exploration of folk routes, small motifs, temporal and tonal changes, and more.

Level: Satisfactory proficiency in a musical instrument, whether tuned or untuned, or in singing is required to participate in the ensemble. Basic knowledge of music theory and sheet music reading is recommended for participants.

Instructor: Haroula Tsalpara
