Join David Amram for a two-hour musical romp through rhythms, harmonies, and folk traditions from around the world—all in the lively heart of New Orleans. This session celebrates improvisation, collaboration, and the sheer delight of making music in the moment to enrich your own songs.
Amram guides participants through all he has learned from 70 years of traveling the Globe—singing, clapping, and inventing songs on the spot—while sprinkling in stories, jokes, and unexpected twists. You’ll discover the magic of spontaneity, the thrill of musical conversation, and the joy of creating something that exists only for that moment.
Equal parts workshop, performance, and celebration, this session is Amram’s reminder that music is a universal language, connecting people, cultures, and hearts. Amram encourages you to bring your guitars or a percussion instrument and to join in when requested and document anything that seems complicated. .
We hope all who come will document all basic rhythms and scales to add to their own repertoire. and to enhance their OWN creativity when they go home! |
