Walking in All Songs Ways
Alejandra Czarny, Poretsky Artist in Residence
Singing is much more than simply lyrics plus melody -- it is also the vocal experience itself, the feelings involved, and sometimes even our body movements may be part of the journey. Awareness of the songs' historical and cultural backgrounds also play a part. In this course We will be learning some Yiddish and Hebrew songs, revealing through them different aspects of sound, and experimenting with our voices and movements. We will share our Jewish musical heritage, create and improvise new tunes to old poems, make vocal arrangements, and explore our musical skills while enjoying doing music together
