Join me for my summer World on  String International Retreat

​

July 8th- 14 th 2019

Classes held at the prestigious Tenuta Ippocrate, Montefredanee (AV)

http://www.tenutaippocrate.com/index.php/it/

​

       Master Class Workshops:

• ​Italian Traditional Folk Music

•  Ensemble and Chamber Music ​

• Mandolin Repertoire  (Classical, Italian Traditional & Brazilian Choro)

•  Accompaniment techniques

 

Directed by John T. La Barbera, the workshop provides an excellent opportunity for professional and non professional musicians to experience ensemble playing, divided into sections to form a symphonic musical group. 

 

 The repertoire will include a wide variety of styles from various world folk traditions, Jazz, Popular, Brazilian, Classical, and also original music. 

 

All players are welcomed. The only requirement is that you can read music on your instrument. The workshop will be divided up into Beginners (for playing accompaniment, harmony parts), Intermediate and Advanced, (for playing the main melodies and for soloists). 

 

Italian Music Workshops are  based on LaBarbera's books, Traditional Southern Italian Mandolin and Fiddle Tunes, and Italian Folk Music for Mandolin (Mel Bay Publications). 

This intermediate level workshop is hands-on and also includes the historical background of the music, techniques and repertoire of the songs, ballads, serenades, Neapolitan villanelle and authentic tarantella and pizzica music. Studies include mandolin techniques with preparatory technical studies; students will learn the Italian style of tremolo, picking, and rhythms that accentuate the music.
