Musical flows | microcourse for beginning musicians

Do you create or want to create music, write lyrics, build your brand and organize your own events? Take part in WOAK’s Music Flows microcourse. Benefit from the experience of inspiring creative personalities and industry experts. Music Flows is practice, inspiration and concrete knowledge – all in an intimate group setting.

Get carried away by musical flows and remember what it’s like to feel music in your fingers, in your breath, in your body.

We have prepared the microcourse program by listening to your opinions and needs, so that it is a useful whole covering various aspects of creative activity. We address it to people who:

• They are not yet playing professionally,
• They want to get back to making music after a break,
• are just beginning their musical adventure and do not know where to start.

Together with you, we will create a space without pressure. No note stress and racing to virtuosity. We focus on the concrete: short and accessible lessons, simple exercises and masterful support.
