Nurturing the Improvisational Spirit on the Guitar

The Circle is a safe space to explore our voices without any judgment. The nature of the Circle it enhances the energy of the collective and makes space for real-time creativity opening the way to spontaneous compositions.
The emphasis is placed on improvising with our voices, freeing our bodies from tensions to create a real body-voice-emotion connection that makes it easier to step into the improvisation realm. - Professor GABRIELE CECCARELLI – WORKSHOP for Piano Players @ MAIN STAGE@ MAIN STAGE – Beyond the Chord Symbols: Reharmonization and Effective Voicings
The piano’s vast range and orchestral-like texture make it an ideal instrument for exploring complex harmony. But with great possibilities come great responsibilities. Achieving richness without muddiness requires careful attention to voice distribution, interval choices, and voice leading. This workshop will guide students through progressively advanced reharmonization techniques while ensuring that their harmonic choices translate into clear, balanced, and expressive voicings on the instrument. - Professor SERGIO BACHELET – Applied Music WORKSHOP @ RECORDING STUDIO.
