ONLINE WORKSHOPS

AMN AT HOME LOGO

Don't let staying at home stop you from improving your music skills! Amateur Music Network online workshops bring master musicians into your home to share their knowledge and expertise.

All you need to participate is a computer or other device connected to the internet.

NOTE: all times are PACIFIC TIME.

Saturday, January 23 | 2 p.m. PT

Spend an hour in the instrument vault and take a journey through the history of the horn with SF Symphony hornist Jonathan Ring. We'll learn about the wide variety of European horn-playing traditions and the impact they had on composers and Classical music.

Saturday, January 30 | 2 p.m. PT

Spend an hour with soprano Hope Briggs to learn how an aspiring Contemporary Christian artist landed on the Grand Opera stage. How does she embody the emotional range of all the styles she enjoys? And what’s next for this versatile vocalist?

SINGING SATURDAYS - An Online Choral Workshop Series

Four Saturdays: February 6 - 27, 2021

All sessions 11 a.m. Pacific Time

February in France featuring Fauré Requiem

SF Symphony Chorus Director Ragnar Bohlin will join us from his home in Sweden for a four-session series to hone your choral singing skills. We'll gather for healthy vocal warm-ups and then explore some of your favorites from the choral repertoire.

Each month will bring a new series focusing on specific repertoire, and each session is an exploration of techniques that will make selected passages from these great choral works beautiful and musical. Although they are not choral rehearsals as such, they will include interludes of singing together through parts and movements of the pieces being studied.

More workshops coming soon! Check back often.
