JEWISH MUSIC INSTITUTE - Ashkenazi Music, Ot Azoy 2004




Ot Azoy! (This is the way!) modified 19 June 2004 ...to read, speak and write Yiddish in a week! Sunday 1—Friday 6 August 2004 SOAS, University of London The third inspiring and enjoyable language course devised and taught by Dr Helen Beer, University College London, with Pesakh Fiszman, Columbia University, New York, Sonia Pinkusowitz, Martin Buber Institute, Brussels, and, special this year, learning Yiddish through song with Shura Lipowsky. Pesakh Fiszman and Helen Beer The perfect opportunity for dipping your toes or immersing yourself in Yiddish language, song and culture: the course is for complete beginners of all backgrounds and for those at intermediate level; for those who always wanted to learn or brush up on the Yiddish they might have heard as a child but were not confident enough (or could not spare the time) to devote a whole summer to it. It is also for those who have already started and want to go further and reach intermediate level of reading writing and speaking and its also a lot of fun. Its especially good for singers and instrumentalists, who can learn to make their instruments sound more Jewish! It makes a great companion course for KlezFest London 2004. Many Ot Azoy! Graduates are now continuing studies at Advanced summer courses and at University. This course is followed immediately by KlezFest London 2004 for Klezmer music, song and dance.
