This workshop is open to music educators, studio teachers and college students. Bring your instruments!
The UC College-Conservatory of Music's Division of Music Education and the Ohio Collegiate Music Education Association present a free workshop with electric violinist Tracy Silverman beginning at 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 16.
Silverman will work with CCM students throughout the day on Oct. 16, discussing his career and providing master classes. His residency will culminate with a strum bowing and improvisation workshop, which is open to teachers and college students from throughout the Tristate area.
Strum bowing is a method developed by Silverman to teach string students how to groove. Strum bowing is for all ages and abilities, from elementary school beginners to conservatory pre-professionals. Silverman will discuss effective ways to apply and reinforce the concepts of strum bowing and to practice techniques like ghosting, chopping, subdividing and developing the 3-D strum.
