Melody Doris - a delightful, intimate workshop based event full of Doris magic, held on a gorgeous organic farm. Thursday evening 21st - Monday morning 25th May 2009. Only 250 places available. Book now!

If you loved the Summer School you'll love this too and there will be more contact with the teachers, more chances to jam together, more chances to meet people and form lasting connections. 

Melody Doris - an experiment in transcultural music making. A more intimate event than the Summer School, the workshops will be both an introduction to the different musical forms and an invitation to play, with the addition of learning through facilitated jam sessions. Each teacher will hold at least one workshop and one jam session per day. The emphasis will be on collaboration, improvisation, feeling free to unleash your musical creativity while being carefully steered into new waters by our talented and inspiring teachers.

The workshops will be targeted at various levels, so that the beginner and the advanced player can have a satisfying experience. There will be 5 different workshop areas in the delightful setting of the farm and each marquee will be far away enough from the others to be able to hear what's happening in your class! As usual we will be having Doris café open mic sessions that both teachers and participants will be invited to perform in, with sessions of improvisation spontaneously erupting that will more than likely involve the "audience".
