Workshop February 23, March 2&9 with Ellwood Epps
Come
be part of this exciting ensemble-based workshop where you'll be able
to unleash your creative spirit and develop skills as an improvising
musician. All are welcome, no matter what instrument you play, how
long you've been playing, or what style of music you might come from.
This three-day workshop is about playing music together in real time,
and the experience you have will be just as important as the music we
make together.
Over three Sunday afternoons we'll work on: What is improvisation? How do we get started? What do we listen for? How do we evaluate what we are playing? We'll play, talk, listen, play some more, and we'll make some good music together!
Piano, drums, p.a. and some amplifiers will be provided for you on-site.
Workshop leader trumpeter Ellwood Epps has led the SIM since 2009. He works primarily as an improviser, playing regularly across Canada and the US. He has worked with internationally renowned improvisers including William Parker, Steve Lacy, Lori Freedman, and Henry Grimes, and appears on more than 50 recordings. He has taught and worked with many kinds of students, from age 5 to 75, including beginners, professionals, people with special needs, and in settings including hospitals, jazz festivals, and his own studio.
The dates are February 23, March 2 and March 9 from 1-3pm.
The workshop will be in both French and English, depending on the needs of participants.
