The focus of this class will be on listening to recorded examples and demystifying the rhythm and counterpoint of these largely accompanimental players. Beginning with the haunting music of Brittany in Western Europe, this class will follow an eastward course through Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria and Asia Minor. Some knowledge of the bouzouki tuned GDAD is recommended, though all skill levels welcome, as are players of both 8 and 10 string instruments.
Song lyrics with chords provided during the class.
