Rhythm is a fundamental element of music. In traditional music, swing brings the tunes to life. Without understanding it, all the tunes would sound the same. This course is for those who wish to delve deeper into the traditional style and the most important swings of Breton music, such as those found in the An dro, the Hanter-dro, and other typical dances.
Originally from Brittany, Tristan Le Govic holds a PhD in musicology from the University of Rennes. A gold medalist in Celtic harp and a graduate of the DEM (Diploma of Teaching Music) specializing in traditional music, his musical and pedagogical style has been shaped by numerous exchanges, particularly within the countries where he has lived: Ireland, Scotland, and Sweden.
Registration includes a daily morning class with Tristan, afternoon special interest topics, evening concerts, BBQ's coffeehouses and a potluck Ceilidh.
