Language & teacher(s) Dutch/English

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’.

Practical

When registering, please let us know which instrument you will be coming with. WISPER can provide: an electric piano/keyboard, a drum kit (bring your sticks and cymbals), percussion instruments.

Level of experience

Level 2: You master the basics on your instrument or vocal and have a basic understanding of chords or scales.
