Community Music - Concert and Creative Workshops with Rupert Guenther

Join violinist Rupert Guenther for multi-instrumental musical workshops using structured improvisions to create a group soundscape. 

This workshop program is designed to bring value and massively enrich your own artistry and creativity. It is open to both full-time professional practitioners as much as part-time community musicians. 

Creative Music Workshop Intensive

The comprehensive daily creative music workshop program is an awesome opportunity to explore and develop your practical and creative music skills, and helps develop your artistry in every aspect of music making. These include: 

• accessing inspiration and ideas without “writer’s block”,
• accessing more emotional depth,
• having experiences of creating music,
• acquiring new musical skills,
• new practical understandings of how music can be created,
• insights into creative approaches,
• ways of working creatively solo and collaboratively
• new approaches to wellbeing as arts practitioners - learned strategies and practices to support being able to self-regulate, calm, nurture, express, feel and share, belong, create, contribute, and feel valued 

The content of the workshops is relevant to all instruments including voice, across all styles of music from classical to folk, rock, pop, blues, indie, ambient and world music. Includes small group and one-on-one time, in an integrated, exciting and inclusive program of growing and deepening your creative music-making.

Community Concert - Interpreting The Earth: Relics From The Deep

At the conclusion of the four days Creative Music Workshops Intensive, there will be a concert offering a unique opportunity to hear the musical ideas of each workshop participant from their time at the Workshops (much the same as a group of painters might exhibit their pictures as a group exhibition).
