Amateur Music Network brings back the world-renowned violinist Mads Tolling for another intensive workshop in jazz techniques for string players. Now’s your chance to learn the techniques of jazz string-playing with a modern master!
In this intensive 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn the shuffle bow and chop, and work on strumming and improvising. This way as a string player you can sound legit in a jazz jam session and fit right in. Mads will give you the tools, techniques and know-how to take your groove playing to the next level.
All string players will benefit from this exploration of technical and stylistic elements of jazz playing. We anticipate a really fun afternoon of music-making, culminating in a “jam session” that will inspire you. No need for advance practice. Just bring your instrument and be prepared to have a great time - all levels are welcome!
The public is also invited to observe the workshop! You will get a great sense of the magic behind jazz playing and it will be a joy to experience the generosity of this great mentor.
