nternational Life Experience, ILE, as company dedicated to the spreading and education of the Scenic Arts, represents and supports artistic workshops of interest for promoting the Spanish musicians in their diffusion abroad. We offer a three days Jazz Music workshop in Benicasim, one of the liveliest musical cities in the Mediterranean Coast, where the main summer festivals take place, like FIB (Festival International de Benicàssim), Rototom Sunsplash or Benicàssim Blues Festival. Jazz Music Wrokshop is for students who are currently enrolled in elementary music or professional degree, or students in general, which, have interest in jazz music. During the sessions we will work with the basics to recognize and address some of the fundamental musical forms of this music (“blues”, “rhythm changes” or “musical song”). Swing, rhythmic patterns, harmony and metric. Teachers, Fede Crespo, Carlos Medina and Jesús Gallardo have a well-known professional career and they are part of Mondo Rítmic Music School. This school is, since 2002, the real alternative to the formal musical education. They offer the student the possibility to build a relationship with the music since day one, with a playful and instructive perspective.
