with Patrick Brugalières
Dates :
January 25-29, 2027
Trainer:
A musician and composer with an atypical career path, Patrick Brugalières has long been a fixture on the stages of some of France's most renowned chanson artists.

He is notably the arranger-orchestrator for Alain Chabat's film "Asterix, Mission Cleopatra".
Contents:
Acquire the skills needed to compose songs and instrumental variety music, mastering musical forms, harmony and melodic construction.

- Identify and use variety song forms
- Building harmonic progressions
- Composing effective melodies
- Structuring a complete song
Trainee profile :
musicians, composers, songwriters
