Music Gym
The Music Gym is an ensemble music workshop with drop-in attendance, open all year round, created and led by Guglielmo Pagnozzi.
It is open to all instruments and all voices, and you do not need to read music. The repertoire is built together, according to the interests of those taking part.
The focus is on the practice of playing together, from teamwork to organising a band: skills useful to those who play for a living and to those who live music as a passion.
Attendance is free: you can take part in both evenings, with no obligation to attend. Come when you want, if you want. Your first session is free.
30 euros a month. Less than a coffee a day.
The two evenings
Monday: Jazz
From early jazz to bebop, up to free jazz and the avant-garde.
Wednesday: Afro and funk
African-American funk and beat meet African rhythms: from 1970s Afrobeat to desert blues.
Guglielmo Pagnozzi
Guglielmo Pagnozzi, born in Bologna in 1970, is a clarinettist, saxophonist and composer active on the Italian jazz scene since the early nineties: he has played with international artists such as Lester Bowie, Steve Lacy, Paolo Fresu and Enrico Rava, in Italy, Europe, the United States and Africa.
In 2008 he founded the Voodoo Sound Club, one of the best-known Afro-funk groups in Italy, and in 2012 the Laboratorio Sociale Afrobeat, a free public music education project that is still active. He is also an actor and composer for theatre and cinema, with a long-standing collaboration at the Teatro dell'Abc in Bologna as a musician and jazz artistic consultant.
