A weekend exploring different ways of approaching folk harmony, with a particular emphasis on learning how to improvise harmony. There will be a certain amount of theory but no prior musical knowledge required. Jon will be introducing participants to his “Colourchord” system which is designed to be a route into an understand of simple folk harmony and to aid improvisation, but also as a system that can allow harmonies to be produced very quickly and easily by a large group. So we will also be spending a lot of time singing together for the fun of it. In some cases sheet music will be available for any strong readers who would like it, and there will be elements of “learning by ear”, but the emphasis will be on the Colourchord System and on improvisation so come prepared to give it a go!
