ROBERT BONFIGLIO PRESENTS:
His first Chromatic Seminar for Diatonic Players
(and also for chromatic players and teachers who wish to advance their
chromatic knowledge and pedagogy)

August 8-13, 2005

Held at his home in beautiful
Copake
Columbia County
New York.

I have introduced players like Randy Singer, Rob Paparozzi, Clint Hoover
and Sugar Blue to chromatic and given lessons to Mike Turk and William
Galison who already could play chromatic.

This will be the week before SPAH to allow players from abroad to take
part and I will update you as to some special stop-by guests like Rob Paparozzi!!
This proves to be a very heavy duty chromatic week.

The seminar will be $300 or $500 if you stay at the house for the week.
I can pick people up without cars from the train station 20 minutes away.
I will include a copy of my two etudes "Scales and Arpeggios" and
"Bona Rhythm Etudes" for each player which usually cost $200.

We will cover everything from tone, phrasing, corner switch, dynamics,
speed, practice habits, etc.

Please email me if you wish to come.

Harmonically yours,
Robert Bonfiglio

HARMONICA MASTERCLASS SOLOING WORKSHOP
October 1 & 2, 2005
Bordentown, NJ

Days Inn Bordentown
1073 Rte. 206 North
Bordentown, NJ 08505

The Best Li'l Harp House, Mel Bay Publications and the Harmonica Masterclass Co
are pleased to announce a Harmonica Masterclass Soloing Workshop
to be held at the Days Inn Bordentown

This workshop location is full (Email registration@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to be placed
on a wait list)

Class Info:
Instruction will be eight hours each day with a focused jam Saturday night with a guitarist.
Master instructor David Barrett will lead the class in all the areas needed to create great solos
and instrumentals. Since the subject matter is very focused, there is a lot of playing in this class.
This has been a life-changing class for those that have participated in the past; we guarantee
you will walk out a better soloist. Class is focused towards intermediate and advanced players,
though new players are welcome to audit the class.

Class will cover:
- The art of improvising through the use of Chorus Forms and Focus Notes
- Soloing Concepts
- Soloing Themes (Head, Hook, Body, Etc.)
- Song Analysis
- How to learn solos note for note and retaining licks
- The art of accompaniment playing
- Identifying blues standards that students can start working
- How to lead a band
- Critique from David Barrett during class and jam session.

This class has one objective… that each player walks out the door a better soloist. This is not
a technique class, we will spend all our time on improvising. Class subject matter has been
focused down to just the essentials to leave time for a lot of playing. David will speak freely
about areas each student needs to work on to become a better player. Class size is limited to
20 participants. If you are looking for details on the larger Harmonica Masterclass Workshop

WORLD HARMONICA FESTIVAL 2005
November 2-6, 2005
Trossingen, GERMANY

Harmonica fans watch out! The Fédération Internationale de l’Harmonica (FIH) once again has
the pleasure of inviting you to one of the most important events in the harmonica lover's calendar.
Every four years the World Harmonica Festival comes to Trossingen in the beautiful Black Forest
region. Soon it will be returning for the fifth time. Alongside concerts and seminars, presented by
some of the finest players performing today, the festival will also include competitions, sessions
and a varied supporting program. Last but not least, the World Harmonica Festival provides the
opportunity to celebrate our unique instrument in the company of countless friends both old and new.

Three full length evening concerts in the Dr. Ernst Hohner Concert Hall will showcase the entire range of
contemporary harmonica music starting at 8.15 pm from Thursday to Saturday.

Featured harmonica artists:
Adler Trio (Israel)
Kathrin Gass (Germany)
Hermine Duerloo (Holland)
Lars Vegas & The Love Gloves feat. Marko Jovanovic (Germany)
Eddie Martin (GB)
Steven de Bruyn & The Rhythm Junks (Belgium)
Joe Filisko (USA)
David Barrett (USA)
Julian Jackson (GB)
Beata Kossovska & Le Blue (Poland)
Harmonicamento (Germany)
Harmonica Choir Laakirchen (Austria)
Abi Wallenstein & Blues Culture feat. Steve Baker (Germany/Sweden/GB)
Yasuo Watani, Ulrich Müller-Froß, Kings Harmonica Quintet (Japan, Germany)
Marc Breitfelder (Germany)

As at previous festivals in Trossingen, there will be competitions in categories featuring the various
different types of harmonica and the most popular musical styles. The adjudicators will primarily be
drawn from the ranks of the guest artists, who will also be performing in the concerts.

A wide ranging workshop program will cover all aspects of contemporary harmonica.

Following the evening concerts, the action moves to the "Kesselhaus", the former power station on
the historic Hohner factory site in the center of Trossingen. This is the first time that the legendary
"Late Night Sessions", organized by Steve Baker and accompanied by the excellent B-Sharp Rhythm
Section, have taken place in this location. The sessions offer all comers the opportunity to get up on
stage with a top professional backing band and show what they can do in front of an appreciative and
knowledgeable audience. They also offer the possibility of showcasing short concert appearances by
artists who cannot be fitted into the evening concerts due to time constraints.

The German Harmonica Museum houses the largest collection of harmonica models in the world and
will be presenting a special tour dedicated to the history of the instrument. The supporting program
also offers a guided tour of the Hohner harmonica production facilities. In the Dr. Ernst Hohner Concert
Hall there will also be a selection of stands offering instruments, CDs, books and accessories such as
amplifiers and microphones.

Detailed information and registration forms can be found on the festival website:

All harmonica fans without internet access can obtain information and registration forms directly from the

BIRMINGHAM'S HEART OF THE SOUTH HARMONICA MUSIC FESTIVAL
May 11-13, 2006
Birmingham, AL

Hilton Perimeter Park Hotel
Hwy 280 at I-459

Hotel Reservations:
1-800-Hiltons or 1-800-445-8667
Mention the "Heart of the South Harmonica Music Festival" for reduced room rate of
$79 plus tax per night (single/double)
Make your reservations before April 13, 2006

We ARE going to have a harmonica festival in Birmingham, Alabama - 2006!

Over 300 who were involved in the original Birmingham Harmonica Festival in 1989.
This to be a great mix of the music of the American South.

- We hope to represent all of these harmonica/music styles.
- Classic "Harmonicats" Stylings
Al and Judy Smith - "The Hotshots"
"The Society Boys"- Shelly Lulov, Tom Scerbo and Phil Caltabellotta
- Nashville Country
Charlie McCoy and his band
- Blue Grass
Buddy Greene of the Gaither Music Reunions
Jerry Ryan of "Three On A String"
Tommy "Toes" Bounds
- Dixieland "New Orleans Style" Jazz
- Cajun
Jerry Devillier from The "RENDEZVOUS DES CAJUN" in Eunice, LA
- Delta Blues
"MadCat and Kane" Peter Ruth and Shari Kane
- Traditional black spiritual
- Southern Gospel
Others have been invited. They will be posted when we know more.

We think the "Southern Music" theme will make what we have planned absolutely distinctive from
any past event associated with SPAH. Someone already stated, "It sounds like you want religious music."
Our response is simple: “No, but it is very hard to take religion out of a Southerner.”
If it is part of who the performer "is", it will not be out of place at this festival.

We are gathering good support from some important people in our state. Frank "Doc" Adams, the
director of the Birmingham Jazz Hall of Fame has offered the facilities of the Carver Theater
in the "Civil Rights District" for some of the Blues and Jazz events.
"Doc" played sax with "Duke" Ellington.
For many years he was a key figure of music in the Birmingham City Schools.

Also, a past member of Harmonicas of Alabama is an Alabama legislator by the name of John Rogers.
After 22 years in our state legislature, John is "helping to make this thing happen."

If this is interesting to you we really would like to hear from you.
If you know someone who would be interested, please pass this along.
We think this will be a great time and we need your help.

Thanks,
Addison Hitchcock (Director)
