In this course, we form a band!
We work on covers as well as our own songs. The focus is on creative arrangements, tailored to our band's instruments. We try out different atmospheres. While experimenting, we look for space in our arrangement and how to fill it or not. Gradually, we mould our own unique sound.
Everyone with basic knowledge of his/her/their instrument is welcome: guitar, ukulele, accordion, recorder, banjo, voice, piano, percussion, and others.
Even if you do not read traditional notation, you can join in, as long as you have a basic knowledge of chords and scales.
Teacher and band leader Annelies Tanghe will guide you. As a songwriter she has already released several albums, and with her band And Then Came Fall she is touring the Flemish stages this season with ‘And Then Came Fall plays Carole King’.
Check www.opek.be for more information about how to get here. At the first session, you will be welcomed by someone from WISPER who will tell you exactly where in/around the building your course takes place.
Good to know if you take a full-day course here: for the lunch break, you can bring your own lunch, eat in at Café Entrepot or buy something at the Lidl supermarket around the corner.
