This workshop will explore jazz and world music rhythms and themes and get everyone playing with some vibrant ideas ahead of attending the RCM Jazz Orchestra concert on 3 October (7.30pm, free ticket provided).Â
RCM Springboard is a FREE yearlong course allowing participants to expand their musical knowledge, deepen their creativity and develop their own musical personalities through inspiring, practical workshops.
Each project starts with different stimuli, such as a theme or structure from an epic piece of music, photographs, films, fascinating scales used in gamelan or exciting rhythms in Latin percussion. Each workshop will result in a creative, original group piece of music, eventually working towards participants inventing individual compositions towards the end of the course.
There is a minimum commitment of approximately one workshop per month with slightly longer courses in some of the school holiday breaks.
