Study tours with the Music School
INTERRAIL – Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland and Germany
Create your own dream trip through Europe!
Music – Band/Vocals and Photography/Experiences travel together. We start the trip in historical Split on the coast of Croatia mwith turquoise seas and charming alleys in ancient ruins.
From Split, the tour continues in groups. The group plans transport, accommodation and arrangements, and creates their own unique journey. Many choose to travel to, for example, Ljubljana in Slovenia, Bratislava in Slovakia, Vienna in Austria and Prague in the Czech Republic. Many people also visit smaller places like Graz in Austria, Lake Bled in Slovenia, Dresden in Germany and Wroclaw in Poland.
Finally, we gather in Berlin, and ends the tour with galleries, a jazz club and sightseeing.
Tour
We create a repertoire of self-composed songs and take a concert production out on the road with us. Beforehand we have a pre-production, where we learn the logistics of a quick rigging and dismantling of sound and light based on a technical rider and stage plot that we create in advance.
We are planning a concert itinerary together, and we want to get a good feel for the feeling of life on the roadEvery day is a new place, new stage, new audience, same songs and a different experience.
