Day one – The Workshops
The workshops starts with greetings by Michał Urbaniak and the Urbanator’s artists. Several special exercised will then be conducted to enable increased concentration and expanded musical perception.
Next, different styles and music techniques will be submitted. Artists present vast possibilities of performing particular music material in various styles – from Dixieland, soul, rap, blues to hip-hop. They will pay particular attention to correct realization of different rhythms and characteristic rhythmic structures. Moreover, they will share their knowledge of various styles of non-symphonic music.
