“Folk ‘n’ Detail” will be held at Løgumkloster University, Brorsonsvej 2, in Løgumkloster, Denmark from August 18th to 22nd. Accordionist Karen Tweed will join an international team, teaching students ideas for composing, focusing on "fantastic phrases & marvellous melodies". The course Director is musician, composer, arranger and performer Kristine Heebøll. Karen’s workshop will include information on composition, working firstly with a strong melody and pleasant harmony, combined with the use of the accordion to explore this. If players can read music and need more prescriptive scoring; Karen will discuss how to go about providing that so they sound fantastic as players and in turn that will help them make music sound the best it can. Fun / joy is a big element of Karen’s music writing, as is visual imagery. During the event, Karen will give informal performances for the participants. She will also play at the Tønder Folk Festival Jamscenen in Tonder on August 22nd at 3.15pm. For any further information email: info@karentweed.com |
