Achieve convincing musical phrasing with the Foot Roller Method

Workshops on the Foot Roller Method (FRM)

The workshops explore the Foot Roller Method in greater depth, as covered in the mini-subscription on phrasing. They have different focal points, which together cover all the known advantages of the foot roll technique:

WORKSHOP 1: „FRM-Workshop to the subscription“

The workshop focuses on deepening the practice of the Foot Roller Method as a practitioner. It is based on the four steps from the mini subscription Phrasing. The workshop is open to all instrument groups, clarifies basic questions from participants, provides tips for practising and helps with transferring the technique to other instrument groups.

  1. Target group: Practitioners
  2. Duration: 90 minutes
  3. Participation requirements: Anyone who has purchased the mini subscription Phrasing and has had some initial experience can participate.
  4. Group size: max. 6 participants

WORKSHOP 2: „Rhythmic stability“

This workshop focuses on steps 1, 2 and 3 presented in the subscription Phrasing, with an emphasis on rhythmic stability. Both practising and teaching are addressed. The transfer to other instruments is also discussed, and the variety of possible applications is presented and experienced together.
