Swedish music workshop
Jenny Demaret
Europe | Instruments & repertories
We will explore the repertoire of different regions of Sweden through stylistic analysis (phrasing, bowing techniques, ornamentation, footwork), work on tone, and ensemble playing. We’ll pay special attention to the rhythmic support and accents we can incorporate into our playing to make the music dance. A Swedish dance workshop will be held in parallel with our workshop (https://adem.ch/fr/cours/atelier-de-danse-suedoise).
Traditional Swedish music is mostly violin-based, but any other instrument is welcome!
New this year!
Do you enjoy singing, sharing, and discovering new linguistic sounds?
Join us this year for two sessions dedicated to Swedish polyphonic singing with Véronika Warkenstein, singer and choir director, on January 24 and April 25, 2027.

Singing the World
Regular Workshops
Clotilde Rullaud
These regular workshops are a chance to try out the Martina A. Catella method and its Sing the World application, in order to ‘discover the voice, the world, its cultures and languages through song’. This original approach brings together technique, games and repertoires borrowed from traditional societies the world over for their learning values and beauty.
