Andrea Piccioni – tamburello seminar

FR/ De quoi ai-je besoin pour entendre et utiliser le tambourin au mieux de mes capacités et de ses capacités ? Comment construire “ma” technique et “mon” son ? Comment puis-je utiliser mon esprit et mon corps pour transcender la technique et “devenir” le son ? Nous répondrons à ces questions et à d’autres grâce à ma méthode de tambourin : une pratique consciente et structurée à travers un système simple et facilement reproductible.

EN/ The objective of the course is the development of 360 degrees, according to the principles developed by Andrea over the years through a careful study of posture and the relationship between mind-body-instrument. Through specific exercises and compositions we will learn how to use the instrument in any musical genre, from jazz to world music to baroque and renaissance music, without forgetting its use in the vast and unknown world of traditional Italian music. A course for all those who want to expand their skills and knowledge on this extraordinary instrument, a real portable full drums-set !
