Calendar

In this one day workshop you will create your own A5 or A6 leather bound sketch pad. The day will be split into two halves – half of the day you will be working on constructing the inside of the book and on the other half you will be designing the leather cover.

For the pages of the book you will choose the paper, decide how many pages your sketch book will have and also choose what size and shape book you would like to create. After cutting the pages you will use needles and cottons (of colours that either contrast or complement your design) to stitch-bind the pages together.

For the cover you will choose a piece of leather from our stock of different colours and thicknesses. We will then teach you how to work with the leather, we will introduce skills such as basic pattern cutting, how to attach a strap and how to finish the leather. When your cover is cut you can then work on your design – using our burning tools you can design, draw and burn your decorative pattern over the sketch book cover to personalising it.
When both cover and pages are complete you will then combine the two elements to create your finished sketch book. These would make fantastic Christmas gifts!

The workshop is suitable for total beginners.

Refreshments are available throughout the day, but please bring your own lunch.

Please contact us to book.

MODAL JAZZ is not only a great way to learn jazz improvisation but a fantastic way to learn improvisation of any kind, whether that’s in funk, blues, fusion or beyond! HOWEVER, THERE IS ONLY ONE PROBLEM: With all the information and ideas out there, including the strange names of the modes themselves, it can get quite confusing and we can easily lose the love for a solo over the complexity of theory.

With this Modal Jazz workshop we can break down those complexities in an easy to digest manner with a practical approach in a group/band setting.

This three-part course is designed for all instruments and voice and comes with a free handy booklet for you to reference in your future practice and development. Don’t worry if you can’t make all three workshops, as there will be something for everyone in each session to take away for your journey in modal music.

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE WILL COVER OVER THE THREE SESSIONS INCLUDE:
– history of modal music
– singing/hearing the modes
– a bit of theory…
– developing nice soloing ideas
– harmony and rhythm with modal tunes
– learning some modal tunes by ear in a band
– ’Hip’ ideas and secrets

WHO CAN ATTEND?
This course is aimed at instrumentalists and vocalists at the beginning/intermediate stage of their development. Some basic reading is helpful but not essential. The booklet will contain music in Concert, Bb, Eb and TAB for your future reference.

WHAT’S THE COST?
Each session is 2.5 hours long with a break and costs £12 for individual sessions or SAVE A LITTLE when you BOOK ALL THREE SESSIONS IN ADVANCE FOR £32!

Whatever option suits you best, prior booking is advisable.

TUTOR: Barry-Bazmatron Edwards Bmus(hons) Jazz
Barry has studied at the Birmingham Conservatoire (2002-2006) under the guidance of well-established educators and performers in their own right. Hans Koller, Dave Cliff, Phil Robson, Gene Calderazzo, Mike Williams to name just a few. He also recorded various albums with prominent improvisers on the U.K. scene such as Mark Sanders, Paul Dunmall and Philip Gibbs.

The Hermon welcomes back Kate Allan for more monthly singing sessions, offering the chance to share your singing voice with others to make music together.

For beginners, here’s an opportunity to find your singing voice (yes, it’s there!) in a supportive group.

You might be a confident singer who wants to get away from the written page and see what comes from the group in the moment.

And for songwriters or anyone who would like to start making songs, this is a great way to open yourself up to fresh ideas and break the mould.

In a circle, starting with gentle body and vocal warm-ups, we take any note, sing it together and then invite some of the group to add another note until we’ve built a chord, listening carefully to ourselves and each other.

Then we can:-
create and develop a rhythm
explore the different sounds we can make with our voices
vary the pitch (high, low), the sound, the speed and the volume
add some body percussion eg clapping, foot tapping
come up with new ideas as a group as we go
build confidence in and awareness of our own and other people’s voices

All this happens and develops very instinctively as our intuition, creativity and innate musicality come to life.

If you’ve never heard yourself sing freely, this is the chance to find that freedom in a judgement-free, natural way.

The sessions are facilitated by Kate Allan, an experienced freelance singer songwriter and singing for health practitioner whose clients include the NHS, Severn Hospice and other health care providers.
