    Eventbrite - Frank McNamara | Piano Seminar | 'Improv Workshop'
    The art of improvisation is a very important skill.  In Classical times, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven - it was a skill that everyone was expected to possess. It would be unusual, for example, for a pianist not to improvise his own cadenza in a piano concerto! The Cadenza was the opportunity for the performer to not only bring his own interpretation to the music but his or her own creativity into play also.

    Composer, pianist and conductor Frank McNamara, will conduct a workshop exploring the skills and ‘tricks of the trade’ of an improvisor. Jazz musicians are well used to improvising but why should they have all the fun? Frank will take the students through the various stages of improvisation, from simple ornamentation, to variations on a theme, to improvising a cadenza!

    Learning without Practicing
    What is the definition of “Practicing?” Through a hands-on group exercise, this seminar teaches us that Practicing very often does not involve Playing. And sometimes it doesn’t even involve any Music at all! Participants will collectively learn and perform a new piece in the time of the session.

    Stage Fright
    No one experiences Stage Fright more often or intensely than Professional Pianists. Insights into its origins very often lead to counter-intuitive methods for handling the symptoms in a productive way. By understanding Affect Theory, pianists can turn Stage Fright experiences into learning experiences and find effective ways to manage the symptoms.
