Description

This workshop is part of our annual Arts Week celebration, a creative experience unlike any other. Immerse yourself in this class each morning, and then choose from among a variety of unique community arts projects in the afternoons. Learn more about Arts Week—and join the fun! 

This Arts Week workshop is eligible for Tiered Pricing.

In this musical improvisation workshop, Oran Etkin draws on his experiences working with master musicians from around the world—including Africa, Indonesia, New Orleans, and the Middle East—to offer many diverse inspirations.

We listen to recordings by great weavers of melodies from different genres to see how a beautiful tune can grow from the seed of a two- or three-note motif. We also explore the power of groove and the playfulness of rhythm within it. Best of all, we make music together, deepening our connection to ourselves, each other, and our surroundings.

Etkin shows us how to trust our musical intuition, responding to what we hear and creating music in the moment without letting critical thoughts interfere.

This musical improvisation workshop is open to seasoned professionals, dedicated students, and novice music lovers eager to make music for the first time.

Tiered Pricing

At Omega, we believe that the benefits of a holistic education should be available to everyone. We also recognize that what is affordable for some will not be for all. We are now offering Tiered Pricing* on select programs to help meet the varying financial needs of our community.

On programs where Tiered Pricing is available, select the price that is appropriate for you. This program works on an honor system. Keep in mind that the highest price reflects the cost of the workshop and allows Omega to sustain itself, whereas the lower prices cover only a portion of those costs.

Tier 1: $425 (Register as you normally would for this pricing.)
This is the true cost of your workshop. Choosing this price helps Omega continue to retain world-class teachers and sustain classroom facilities.

Tier 2: $350 (Enter TIER 2 in the Promotional Code Box when you register.)
This is our partially subsidized price for those with temporary or minor financial need.

Tier 3: $275 (Enter TIER 3 in the Promotional Code Box when you register.)
This is our heavily subsidized price for those in need of deeper financial assistance.

*Tiered Pricing is subject to change and cannot be combined with other discounts.
