We have quite a diverse sound pallet on our instruments, but what techniques
can we use and adapt from other instruments? How can we imitate similar
instruments from different cultures, for example? Or can we make our plucky
little instrument imitate bowed strings, wind instruments or percussion? This
workshop will explore a range of playing styles to broaden our scope of music
making and blend our sound with other types of instruments. Bring your
plucked instrument of choice and an open mind.
