WORKSHOPS
"You've probably noticed when you listen to Romanian music. Quite a few unusual modes are often used. In general, I mainly work by learning specific pieces of music, which then naturally represent one of these keys.
During this workshop I want to talk about these modes/keys, where they come from and how one can possibly use them for improvisation. There is very little improvisation in Romanian music, so that's a bit outside the tradition, but it's very interesting nonetheless.
We will also look at some of the ornaments or embellishments that this music is full of and finally we will also look at some chord progressions that are common in Romanian music…
