Zohar Fresco Framedrums Camp

Previous Next

I invite you to international frame drum workshops with Zohar Fresco!

Our meeting with Zohar Fresco will take the form of a camp. For over 10 days, we share space with Zohar Fresco and his students, the Italian musician Francesco Magaro who plays frame drums, the Polish drummer Michał Pękosz and me :) The camp begins with a workshop on playing the Iranian Daf led by Sultan Kara.

The camp will take place at our farm, Silpia Duża 9, on August 8-18, 2024.

All current musicians invited by Zohar will share their knowledge and experience in the field of Middle Eastern music.

DIVISION INTO GROUPS

In order to ensure a high methodological standard of the workshops, we will create 3 workshop groups on site:

- for people who start playing drums

- for people who have been playing for some time and know the basics of the Zohar Fresco methodology

- for long-time students of Zohar or people advanced in playing the frame drum

Each group will have a program adapted to the level of its participants. Each day will be divided into working with Zohar Freco and "own work" or consolidating the material under the supervision and help of Franceso Magaro, Michał Pękosz and Jacek Żelazek.

Evening meetings around the bonfire will be shaped by us, we can play, talk or listen to all kinds of stories about drums and more.

THEMATIC BLOCKS

The camp is divided into 4 thematic blocks. This gives you the opportunity to participate only in a one-day module of your choice.

11/08/2024 - Drumming Retreat with Zohar Fresco - a one-day workshop devoted to working with breath while playing drums. One of the most important issues for a musician and for a human being in general :)

12-13/08/2024 - basics of drumming (beginner group) or "compositions" (medium and advanced group)

14-15 - techniques used on a frame drum. In this module we focus on technical issues such as split hands, snaps, combinations of techniques, tempo and precision. The program is adapted to three different levels.

16-17 - polyrhythm. One of the drummer's most powerful powers is polyrhythmy. We will learn how to start preparation with traditional polyrhythmic patterns (beginner group) or how to develop previously acquired skills (medium and advanced groups).
