Subject: [Harp-L] study with Howard Levy, Rob Paparozzi & Hendrik Meurkens


A one day  harmonica seminar in the burbs (Tri-State area) seminar

although I'm happy to see that there are some A-1 Blues Jam Camps throughout
the country, I think more is needed for the player that wants to move in
other directions on harmonica. In the past I have had good luck and success
in teaming up with players like Howard Levy and Robert Bonfiglio to present
such workshops.....it's time for another!

with: Howard Levy, Rob Paparozzi & Hendrik Meurkens

One day only, limited to 10 Students Price: $150 (by limiting the class to
ten, the class can remain very 'hands on' and more one on one when
addressing issues)

The setting: my home (central New Jersey-USA) food will be served as well
Hours approx: Noon-5pm

This will be a 'hands on' seminar to improve both diatonic and chromatic
skills.
emphasis on practice techniques, tone, and tools for advancing your improv
skills.

Howard Levy -
will concentrate on ways to think modally and chromatically on Diatonic
combined with  tools & techniques that are invaluable to players of ANY
style on diatonic. Howard is known mostly as a master of the Overblow
technique, but much more will be covered including regular bending skills
with precision as well as tone and vibrato

Hendrik Meurkens -
will cover the practice skills needed to play JAZZ on chromatic which of
will include an intro to the music theory behind jazz playing. Hendrik also
will share his concepts on arranging and writing for Chromatic in the jazz
combo setting.

I will cover advancing the diatonic past the standard blues form without the
use of overblows and also how to transfer great tone techniques from
Diatonic to Chromatic. In addition I will cover how to use harmonica in a
band, what to play went NOT soloing, backing up singers, amp& mic skills,
session tips and even adding or improving Vocals in your act.

audio taping is welcome.


Please contact me offlist if interested or have any questions- please note:
this is NOT a beginners class...you should already be at a somewhat
intermediate or advanced level get the most out of this class. You don't
have to read music but should possess a basic knowledge of music theory as
well.

PS....don't forget about our week seminar in the Grand Canyon this SEPT 3-7
with Robert Bonfiglio, Rob Paparozzi and Dennis Gruenling....contact
Bonfiglio directly for info on that program:
