''Try-it!' (Event 2)

Micaela Schmitz (clavichord)

teaching a demonstration at the Birmingham Conservatoire, October 2006

 
This is for anyone who wants to try- whether or not you play keyboard. Micaela will share some of the science involved in these musical instrument and demonstrate the varying sounds they can make. Musicians, budding acousticians and wood workers will appreciate seeing how the mechanics of the instruments work, while others may enjoy trying these for themselves .

Music to bring: Bring a bit of sheet music with you. Some ideas: Bach inventions (2 voiced) Haydn 2-voiced menuets or works from his 'middle period' late English Baroque (Arne, Purcell) C.P.E. Bach, J.C. Bach, Buxtehude, Scarlatti or Soler sonatas fugues of any sort items from Bartok, Mikrokosmos unaccompanied cello sonatas- makes a great left-hand piece! An adult who has come simply to accompany a participating child will not be charged admission.

Under 16s w/ workshop ticket (event 2-or 3)– attend concert (event 1) free.
