In this workshop, which is open to all instruments and singers, Emilia will give you a good taste of Swedish trad music! She will teach one or a few songs, go through some historical and theoretical background and then give lots of focus to getting into the right groove, playing expressively and rhythmically with lots of energy and dynamics. It's all about the connection between body, groove, dance, expression and flow! Emilia teaches in a style that gives everyone, both more basic and more advanced players, something to really work on!
