This year's last free improvisation workshops for children "Tell me a story", organised by the Polish Society for Contemporary Music, will be held on 17-18 December 2020 in Nowa Ruda, Lower Silesia.
The classes will be conducted in small groups by accordionist Bartosz Kołsut, guitarist Paweł Kwaśny, composer Jarosław Siwiński and double bassist Małgorzata Kołcz. Children aged 3-5 will learn, play and improvise in the company of their parents, talented musicians and amazing books. Each meeting will last about 90 minutes with a short break.
The main idea of the project is to trigger graphic-inspired improvisations. Children will create their own stories based on picture books. The improvised fairy tales will be then "translated" into musical language under the guidance of class teachers. Improvisation is the most basic, primary and joyful form of music performance, which is why the workshops combine children's creativity and imagination with books and contemporary music. In addition to improvising and playing with books, children will learn various techniques of producing sound, which expose its color and dynamic values, and will also have a chance to play percussion instruments on their own.
