During this course, you will learn to play and sing Jewish songs from different traditions: Israeli folk songs, Ashkenazi music (from Eastern Europe) and Sephardi music (from Spain and North Africa). 

Our starting point is based on the talents you already have: maybe you play an instrument and want to learn even more, or you like to sing. Any level of instrumentalist and singer is welcome! 

 

Course structure

We will work with music sheets and recordings. Sheet music and/or recordings will be sent to the participants ahead of time. Participants are expected to learn them and come prepared to play them together in class.

Prior knowledge

The course is given in English.

No prior knowledge about the subject is needed. The course welcomes both former and new participants.

Course material

Course material is included in the cost for this course.

Participants bring their own instruments.
