Slimmed down and intensive:
in Milina – Pelion – Greece
For those for whom it is too hot in Greece in August or who don’t want to wait that long, there is now a 5-day workshop over Easter (April 17-22, 2025) in Pelion.
Why “little”?
This new concept starts with Natascha Roth (voc.) and James Scholfield (git.)
You can find out more about the two >HIER
Sing, sing, sing: Solo, but also together. Exercises that are neglected in many workshops and that are so important for your sound, your rhythmic feeling, your interpretation andimprovisation .
We have built the course on three pillars.
Improvisation & Co
From blues collage to circle songs, improvisation on harmonic relationships, the basic tools of improvisation…
…to voice sound, voice quality, phrasing, call & amp; response.
daily 10-13 h
Masterclass
You bring one or two songs and work with Natascha individually while the others listen. You will work on phrasing, vocal sound, rhythmic elements and arrangement, depending on where you are at the moment. Maybe you can already transfer some of what you worked on in the morning. James accompanies you so that Natascha can concentrate fully on your performance.
2 hours in the afternoon.
Singing in an ensemble
A world whose exploration teaches us a lot about timing, articulation, dynamics, balance, rhythmic phrasing and homogeneity.
We rehearse a song and learn that we have to sing much more precisely than we do in our solo pieces.
60 Min. in the evening
At the end of the workshop we give a small concert and maybe invite some guests, just as it suits everyone.
Thursday 17. 04. arrival
Friday 18 – Monday 21.04
Tue. 22.04. Departure after breakfast
*We can still change the times in the afternoon.
The price includes the workshop and breakfast together (incl. coffee or tea). The drinks we provide during the day and in the evening are offered at fair prices. Spring water is always free.
Our workshop takes place at Milina on the Pagasitic Gulf.
Milina is about 45 km from Volos and 9 km or 15 minutes by car from Argalasti, the center of southern Pelion.
The village has everything you need: nice tavernas and cafés right on the Pagasitic Gulf, two bakeries, a supermarket, greengrocer, pharmacy and a large selection of accommodation.
And of course fantastic sunsets…
.
The course takes place at our home, in the center of Milina, just a few steps from the sea.
We moved in here in November and had already passed the endurance test at the turn of the year: we spent 5 wonderful days here with 16 friends from Germany.
We have plenty of space and will be singing under the lemon trees.
>HIER is the link to GoogleMaps, there you can see exactly where we are. This will help you to find a place to stay.
It’s not often that our Easter falls on the same weekend as Orthodox Easter. But this is the case in 2025, so book your accommodation as soon as possible.
Here are some links to the best-known hotel platforms: Booking.com , Trivago , Check24, Airbnb. You can get an overview there. Please note: Around public holidays, landlords often do not offer their accommodation via hotel portals. Therefore, check without a date and contact the landlord directly if necessary.
By the way: your company is of course also welcome. And it’s always worth adding a few days’ vacation and exploring the Pelion, the Black Forest of Greece.
If you would like to know more about this wonderful area, take a look at our Hellazz summer workshop page and scroll down to “The surroundings”. Just below you will also find information on how to get here.
At lunchtime, everyone looks after themselves; most apartments have a small kitchenette or you can go to one of the many tavernas in Milina.
And in the evening, we will explore a different taverna together every day, sit right by the sea and enjoy the sunset in hopefully good weather, just like in this photo.
And as we are a small group, we can eat à la carte.
Are you in the mood for sun, sea and a creative journey with your voice?
