2022 Season

 INSTRUMENTAL/VOCAL TECHNICAL TRAINING & MULTIDISCIPLINARY MUSICAL PRACTICES

from 20 to 28 August 2022 in Font-Romeu.

New for the 29th year: existing since 1994 in various forms, this course is intended for all those who wish to develop their musical abilities whether in the vocal technique related to posture and physical condition, group practice, improvisation techniques, composition and arrangement regardless of musical style.

New educational content with Denis Bioteau:

• Workshop - Music Repairs

The aim of this workshop is for each intern to find answers to the questions he has to improve his musical writings, or even to begin and advance them.

The demand can be on a problem of composition, harmony, orchestration, arrangement, polyrhythm, instrumentation, styles, editorial readability etc...

This workshop makes it possible to immediately have targeted answers: we have already experienced that a direct and satisfying outcome made us even more eager to continue to learn and improve!

• Course-Analysis of the musical work MODE HALLES

Denis Bioteau, composer of this piece written for big band with strings consort and synthesizer violin, says that he wanted to concretize 25 years of reflections on the composition by creating a mix of styles and dynamics, between the “classical” and “popular” music.

He revisits the different trends of 20th century musical writing, associated with the energy of groove & improvisation of modern contemporary music.
