Workshop with Michael Copley

Folk Music from Eastern Europe and beyond

Greenfield Primary School, Gwendoline Drive, Countesthorpe, Leicester LE8 5SG

10:00 - 16:30

£15.00

We will concentrate, but not exclusively, on music from Eastern Europe and the differences and similarities between folk music from different parts of that region, the unusual harmonies and exuberant rhythms including 25/16 and 22/8 for the really intrepid.
Also included will be an introduction to some of the instruments used there including the ocarina, panpipes and the frula, the Balkan recorder. There will be a section devoted to Andean music and how to play the quena, a wind instrument found only in Bolivia and Peru
