Stick Camp activities
There are some special things that will happen at this Stick Seminar.
Firstly, when all the Stick players are together, we will be able to experience The Stick from different points of views.
Although, we all play the same instrument, we all have different techniques and styles. For this, we will have “open talks” where everyone can share their own secrets to playing the Stick, offer a spontaneous master-class, and have free-flowing discussions about our musical experiences and journeys. It will be a spontaneous forum for us and it will give us a fantastic chance to learn from each other. Yes, you will be able to share your own information, if you would like to do it.
Secondly, there will be also specific and more structured class time from Emmett and the other advanced players. There will be private learning session offered by them as well.
Finally, we want to make music together! We will have a concert every night from some of the solo Stick artists, but we would love and encourage you to join us with your music too. It would be a lovely sight to see and hear spontaneous groups form…duos, trios, or ensembles…to create unique evenings of joyful, memorable music. What a grand musical holiday it will be!

PLAYING TOGETHER
Between the established solo Stick performances each evening, we will try to make time to create Stick ensembles from those who attend and want to perform. During the day, we can spontaneously jam and present our creations in the evening. If you prefer to play your own solo songs, we encourage it. Don’t worry, you don’t need to play a long concert. The goal of this whole vacation is to share in the music that we each bring.
- Rehearsal
- Spontaneous duo or trios
- Solo concerts
- Creating a song and playing it in the night concert
- Beginners: learning a song and play it a few days later.
- Advanced: helping beginners to play with you.
- ...more soon.
