Programme
Body Instrument Practice
Body Instrument Practise is a collection of contemplative exercises, developed by Peder Karlsson, where the singer builds musical and rhythmical awareness from the inside out, through visualisation of notes, musical phrases, rhythms and physical movements. The goal is to build a solid self-confidence based on body awareness, stable intonation and a physical sense of rhythm.
Participants of this discovery atelier should log in to www.therealgroupacademy.com and access a selection of instruction videos before the session in Tallinn.
