INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP:
The introductory workshop is suited for all levels of yidaki playing although it is beneficial to be competent with cyclic breathing. The content starts with clear explanations and practise of the individual sounds (parts of rhythms) that Jeremy uses in his playing, then it progresses into different ways in which the sounds can be put together to make different types of rhythms. Many practise rhythms are taught as part of this workshop. This workshop gives people all the resources they need to develop their own yidaki playing style. Men and women of all skill levels are welcome. Limited to 20 participants. The total duration is usually around 4 hours, but can very depending on the size of the group. Cost €90.
Special offer: All participants that have done this course and wish to attend it again can do so for only €60!
ADVANCED WORKSHOP:
The advanced workshop is limited to people who have done the introductory workshop as the information builds on that. This workshop centres around composition and closely examines different rhythm structures. Many different practise rhythms are taught and developed as part of this workshop. There are many useful composition and listening principles taught in this workshop. These principles are very useful in refining playing techniques and style development. Both men and women are welcome. Limited to 15 participants. The total duration is usually around 3 hours, but can very depending on the size of the group. Cost €90.

YIDAKI IMMERSION RETREAT
This is an intensive series of workshops for people who are serious about deepening their knowledge and skills.
This year 2 yidaki immersion retreats are being offered:
18 Hours over 6 days: France (Chateau Risdoux) – yidaki immersion retreat – 16.07.10 to 30.07.10
12 Hours over 4 days: Switzerland (Stein am Rhein) – yidaki immersion retreat – 09.09.10 to 12.09.10
Both yidaki immersion retreats are set in a comfortable environment with food and accommodation provided. The course starts with clear explanations and practise of the individual sounds (or parts of rhythms), progressing to phrases and structured composition, freestyle composition and then personal style development. This course caters for all skill levels and is the complete course to gain an excellent understanding with technique, composition and personal style. Men and women of all skill levels are welcome. Limited to 15 participants.
I look forward to seeing you in Europe
