This piece was written by Tim specifically for workshops and
incorporates different types of clapping/ensemble saxophone playing,
along the lines of a distorted Funky Blues.
This workshop aims to give
all players a sense of fun whilst leaning about different musical
concepts of sound together with some improvisation for those who want to
express themselves over chord solos.
All Sax players welcome but grade 3 reading and good musical aptitude would help!
This is a great opportunity for sax players during the festival.

LOOP MACHINE WORKSHOP WITH
This workshop is an opportunity for people of all ages to work together in a fun environment. A loop machine is a modern device used by some musicians. It allows sounds to be layered up like a choir or a big band. With the help of Ash Mandrake, you will have an opportunity to use the loop machine in small groups and individually.
The emphasis is not
on producing a polished piece of music, it is on having fun and
experimenting with all types of sounds. Previous participants in these
workshops have been astonished and inspired by what they or their
children have created.
Be prepared to use your voice, sing in rounds,
use a microphone and have some fun! This workshop is suitable for all
ages but children must be accompanied by an adult.
