Hurdy-gurdy beginners to half advanced – Michalina Malisz (Pl)

Especially for the players who have been playing the hurdy-gurdy for a while, but are not yet ready for the (semi) advanced workshop, Michalina Malisz will give an interesting course. She wrote to us:

During this course you will learn about developing good right and left hand coordination. We will focus on playing melodies, building up speed and flow. Additionally, we’ll take a look at the tremolo technique (fiddling back and forth with the crank) and work on coordination and accuracy necessary to perfect this skill. A lot of Celtic music will be involved! 🙂

Level of playing

This course is especially for beginners to intermediate players. Participants already have experience with the hurdy-gurdy. For example, they take the Saturday course for beginners or beyond beginners to intermediate players. For example, they have already followed some lessons or workshops. Or they have been playing for at least a year. Tuning and preparing an instrument for playing is no longer a problem and it is also possible to learn new melodies.
In comparison with our Saturday course: this workshop is intended for approximately the same level as the beginners to intermediate course that Kay currently teaches, but the more fluent players from the group of beginners (teached by Petra & Gertjan) are also welcome.

Maximum amount of participants: 12
