[Harp-L] Re: Dallas Chromatic

[Robert Bonfiglio <bon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Bruce,

Instruction starts on Thurs Oct 11th in the evening, i.e., 6PM to 10  
PM.  After that daily from 10 AM to 12 and from 2PM to 4.  This way  
people need only take Friday and Monday off work in the Dallas area.

Yes, I do use music since reading is the fastest way to learn,  
scales, patterns, tunes, etc.  Imagine if you were doing poetry, but  
could not read or spell.  Everything must be memorized then with no  
reference.

I not only teach all scales and arpeggios, rhythm, tone, vibrato,  
corner switching, tonguing, etc, but more importantly, how to  
practice this material.  The basic four areas of practice for the  
rest of your life will be scales and arpeggios; Rhythm; etudes or  
duets; and a piece of music you choose.

If you play diatonic, I emphasize the similarities between the two  
instruments.  Playing chromatic can enhance your diatonic playing and  
vise versa.

Harmonically yours,

Robert Bonfiglio
