Greek and Middle Eastern Violin Workshop with Megan Gould
- Adult Workshop
- Length: 80 minutes
- Weekly for: 1 weeks
- Cost: $20 ($20 for members)
- Skills Needed:
Join Megan Gould, the violinist from Monika Jalili's visiting Persian music ensemble (see World Music Wednesdays 9/5/12), for a workshop on music of the Middle East and Greece - particularly the Asia Minor style popular in early Rebetika and Smyrnaika. Megan is a NYC-based performer with deep experience performing and studying this music. She will draw upon selected repertoire to explain basic maqam theory, including the use of micro-tones, specific ornaments and improvisation. Students will walk away having learned several pieces, and with an enriched understanding of these beautiful musical traditions. This workshop is geared towards intermediate or advanced-level musicians, particularly (but not necessarily) violinists.
