The WISPER jams are a mix of good vibes, nice people, fun grooves and great music. And every now and then, Reindert says something and you think "damn, he's right". Would you like to really explore that insight? Do you sometimes have great ideas in bed at night, but they don't come out during the jam? That's perfectly normal. But after this jam course, not anymore! Because yes, you can even learn how to jam.

You'll learn the basics of all jams: improvisation, ensemble playing, tips and tricks... Our resident musician and saxophonist Reindert will give you all the tools you need to feel at home in any musical situation. Together, we will explore your role or story and how to share it in an improvisational musical group. And of course, we will enjoy lots of jamming!

After this course, you will be a better musician and understand what playing together is really about: musical connection. Not only will you realise it, you will also know how to find that connection.

Practical

All instruments are welcome! WISPER provides a drum kit, a piano and a small PA system. Do you have any questions or concerns? Send an email to reindert@wisper.be.

Level of experience

Level 2: basic knowledge of your instrument is required. Some experience with jamming is a plus.
