and depend on each artist to submit directly to me.  Please allow
me this consideration, and thank you all very much.

HARMONICA JAM CAMP FOR BLUES & COUNTRY
May 16-18, 2003

Crown Plaza Hotel
Irvine,  CA

A Limited Enrollment Weekend Intensive
for Diatonic Harmonica Players,
with a Focus on You, and the Joys of Jamming.

Friday 5:30 pm to 9pm
Saturday 10 am to 9 pm,
Sunday 10:30 am to 2:30 pm

Taught and facilitated by Jon Gindick and friends.
$295 after March 15
$279 with early registration
http://www.gindick.com/Engine/Shopping/catalog.asp?store=6&category=256

Harmonica Jam Camp for Blues & Country is a two-day seminar with world
renown, master player/teacher Jon Gindick that focuses on YOU. Your
Mission
with Jon and Jam Camp team? Identifying your next level, and helping you
achieve it and beyond in two days of intense teaching, learning,
practice
and jamming. 

"The Harmaniac" Dennis Cooper  http://www.mp3.com/crossharp  has just 
signed on as an instructor and will be teaching along with Jon
throughout 
the entire weekend.  Dennis is a fantastic harp player with exceptional
skills 
and will obviously enhance what already stands to be an exciting
weekend.

Jam Camp teachers are Jon Gindick, Dennis Cooper, Big Harmonica Bob, 
and Ned Kraft. Each jamcamper will get individual evaluation and goal 
setting at the beginning of the seminar. We will work on fundamentals in 
jam circles and practice circles and we will also jam, jam, jam.

We have people flying in from all over the place including the East
Coast
and, believe it or not, as far away as St. Petersburg, Russia.  Were
building
a diverse student base from absolute beginners to solid advanced
players.
With a maximum of 35 students and 3 instructors (so far), you'll be
getting
plenty of one-on-one attention.

When you arrive Friday night or Saturday morning, you will play for Jon,
get
feedback, evaluation, and also tell us what you9re looking for in the
seminar. (this can also be done by phone, prior.) Together we will
discuss
your goals and problems, and identify your next level and the learning
techniques that will get you there. Then, with Jon and other musicians,
we
will jam until it9s time to go to bed, or they throw us out.

On Saturday and Sunday, we will spend focused, repetitive,
skill-developing
time in exercises and practice circles. As each day goes on, there will
be
three or four classes on different topics, each relevant to players at
all
levels. We will study and practice tone, embouchure, articulation,
hands,
tongue-blocking, I-IV-V chord progressions, chugging, jamming theory,
cross
harp melody, cross harp riffs, position playing 1-6 plus 12, the harp
player
as singer, how to learn, how to teach, how to set up a band,
amplification,
learn to play songs line by line, and you will jam, jam, jam.

A word of warning: Jon plays harmonica and guitar at the same time and
teaches in jam circles. In a jam circle, we go around the room, each
playing
with Jon and his guitar. We play as a group. We play solos. We create
rhythms. We sing. We become musical. If you are closet player, this is
your
time to 3come on out2 in a supportive, structured environment. We have
two
big rooms plus a 3pre event2 area at the Crown Plaza hotel in which we
can
separate and yet still be together. To assure sanity and attention, the
enrollment is limited to thirty-five people. It will be stimulating, but
structured so you can hear yourself think and play. This inexpensive
harmonica jam camp experience is about YOU and the joy of jamming.

Pricing: $279 if you enroll before March 15.  $295 after.
