💼 What the programme involves

The participants are invited to take part in everyday music workshops in order to exchange knowledge and experience and work together on music skills: arrangements, harmony, songwriting, structure of songs, characteristics of various genres, improvement of instrumental or vocal abilities, performance. The workshops will be centered around the most popular and widespread genres of modern Italian and international music: pop, rock, soul, blues. All the activities will be collective, in fact there will be no frontal individual lessons but depending on the topics each class will involve all participants or divide them into small groups. The musicians and singers with their backgrounds and skills will be protagonists of the work and the teachers will help to put them together.The aim of the workshop is to combine a unique musical experience and intercultural peer exchange based on sharing at all levels. As a result, on 29 th of June the participants will perform at the final concert for the local inhabitants of Carignano.The daily activities will include music classes from 9 am to 12 and from 2.30 pm to 20.30 with a break.
