Inspiration Course – Online

18 hours in total over three online boot camps 

Welcome to a unique and international online inspiration course where choir leaders will meet a renowned team of educators, ensuring the highest pedagogical and artistic level of all.

This course is a fun learning experience to get an overview of the newest and most innovative working styles within rhythmic choir music. How do you make vocal music sound ‘right’ when it comes to pop, jazz, and improvisation, etc.? The online inspiration course provides the answers to meet this challenge. 

Structure

We will meet 3 x 6 hours during autumn 2021, where all classes are taught online from RAMA Vocal Center Aalborg. From our site, there will be a few singers present in the room to try out the methods in “real life”, since the dates correspond to the Bootcamps we are running at the same time. On the side of your classes, you are welcome to join some of our regular classes as well as a fly on the wall.
