EMU Vol. 3 D Napolitan Minor

In conjunction with In-dance and the Sufi Dance course - soon I will be running weekly EMU workshops for training the ear with modal music and eastern rhythms right here in Margaret River! 🥰

The workshops are designed for those who already have some musical experience. You can bring any instrument (as long as it can play chromatic scales). You can even bring your voice and your legs for drums if you wish. We will focus on one or two rhythm/mode combinations per workshop and utilize repetition to concrete these forms into the subconscious mind.

I also provide 1 to 1 music tutoring for experienced musicians looking to break out of the jazzy/blues humdrum and expand their musical horizons for the purposes of developing improvisational form to the next level.

EMU (Expanding into the Musical Unknown) is an imperfect musical exploration into the universe's imagination.

The ability to learn new techniques, styles of music and instruments is highly dependent on our ability to let go and allow our minds to be a child again - in that - we stop insecurities about doing things right and we just play.. we make mistakes, and we learn - and in doing so, we learn how to learn - disposing of the 'hustle' of industry and retaining an authentic relationship with essence.
I provide one on one music tutoring and coaching for the purposes of assisting you in breaking out of your habits in music playing - using a specific teaching method I have developed myself as an ear trained improvisation focused musician. This method can be used for any musical style or instrument. It is not about learning songs - it is about learning feel and the feel or each particular scale/mode and rhythm.

I have travelled the world for over 7 years with street music as my primary form of income. In this journey I discovered many types of music that sit outside the influence of the western ear.

I, like Ross Daly of Labyrinth music school in Crete, feel that a return to modal music is key in rediscovering the roots of universal culture through embracing the diversity available in the collective's magical musical imagination.
