In addition to group-oriented workshops, individual one-on-one instruction is available.
Lessons are tailored to the individual in consultation with the student.
Here is a brief overview of the diverse range of topics covered:
Improvised Worlds
Theory and practice of decision-making in shaping free collective improvisation.
On musical functions in improvisation and the dramaturgy of musical shaping.
Exploring Harmonic Space
Theory and practice of approaches to melodic shaping beyond functional harmony.
Guidance on line formation through motivic development along various paths within tonal space.
Form, Timing, Flow
On the grammar of melodic arcs.
Practical exercises in interpreting time and “the ultimate backbeat.”
Instructions and exercises for artful line shaping within the flow of time.
Graphic Notation
Playful realization of graphically notated music.
Demonstrating the potential of graphic notation for shaping free music.
Patamusic
Creatively working on contemporary Pata-compositions and free improvisation.
The lessons build upon your current level of musical proficiency.
We would be happy to arrange a no-obligation introductory conversation.
Lessons take place in the Pata Music Studio in the centre of Cologne by appointment.
I look forward to working together to further develop your musical skills.
