CREATIVE

                          Creative work,  guided and by experienced bandcoaches

Daily we decide together what repertoire will when and where be exercized. Plenary & in small groups.

In & from our homebase: a circustent in the forest. Vocal and guitar amps, PA, keyboard and percussion available. Choir can be lead strictly.

In the evenings, try-outs for (your own) audience can be given in the Bar or at the Terrace. Let’s work towards informal performances at the end of the week. 

Friday night we’ll have a communal supper, traveling companions welcome too. Saturdays will be available for travelling.

Inge Gammauf – in addition to being a sports masseur and massage therapist – is an experienced singer and pianist with great organisational and social skills.

Henry van den Broek is a driven guitarist and jovial team player, with a love of blues.

John Miltenburg is an experienced singer and conducts the choir.

REQUIREMENTS

                            Experience is not required, but will be appreciated and enthusiasm even more so

Musical experience will be welcomed, but if not, you’ll be welcome too. But we feel that creativity accelerates by diversity & challenges. So we pursue different nationalities, ballads to pop/rock and youngsters plus elderlies. Minimum age is 13 years.

The group will be small (10-20), so lots of individual coaching and support can be given. Music-lessons cannot be expected.

Music-quiz, karaoke and music-movie can be expected to accellerate the atmosphere.

Because participants from different countries are being expected, the main language will be english.
