Alphorn Workshop with Natalie Douglas Grana at Bannalp
2023-07-19 08:15 - 17:00 (Europe/Zurich) | Bannalp, Switzerland
Do you sometimes struggle to hit the right pitch on your alphorn? Hearing a note before you play it is key.

Natalie Douglas Grana is an expert on the topic of inner hearing. She regularly teaches her “Singing Approach to Horn Playing” to professional horn players around the world (see here for her credentials). On her way to the International Alphorn Festival of Nendaz, Natalie will give this unique workshop for alphorn players. She shows you how to use singing as an intuitive and very effective tool to study a new piece of music. Intermediate to advanced level. The course will be taught in English – with German translation. Alphorn in F-sharp (let us know, if you need to borrow one).
The workshop will be held at Bannalp. We will play at different spots around Bannalp lake and may hike to Alp Oberfeld (250 meters of additional altitude) wtih its spectacular echo. The unique soundscape of Bannalp will certainly help you to activate your inner ear.
Participants from North/Eastern Switzerland and Zürich can join us for the transfer to Oberrickenbach; we leave Zürich Wollishofen at 8:15, and can also pick up people from Lucerne on the way. Alternatively, use your own means of transport and meet us at the Luftseilbahn Fell-Chrützhütte at 9:50.
Gondola ticket (the gondola leaves at 10:00) included in the price of the workshop. If you have time, I recommend you to spend a night at beautiful Chrützhütte.
Conditional on decent weather conditions. If there are enough participants, we may propose a fall-back program in Zürich.
