[Harp-L] Bonfiglio Harmonica Seminar in Palo Alto

[Robert Bonfiglio <bon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This year will be my 5th Chromatic Seminar for Diatonic Players (and  
also for chromatic players and teachers who wish to advance their  
chromatic knowledge and pedagogy) held from Friday Feb 15th in the  
evening 6-10,  to Monday Feb 18 morning from 10-12 over the holiday  
weekend.  Sat and Sunday will be 10-12 and 2-4 with night time get  
togethers to play, jam, tune and repair harmonicas.  The place is the  
Palo Alto Elks Lodge.  There are several better motels with in  
walking distance of where we will hold the seminar.

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

 The seminar will be $499 unless a club can bring in 5 members and  
the club members will be $399 each.   I will include a copy of my two  
etudes "Scales and Arpeggios"  and "Bona Rhythm Etudes" for each  
player which usually cost $200.  I will also get you copies of my  
Bach for Harmonica when it's done.

This seminar is for all levels of players; people with a higher level  
of expertise on chromatic will learn teaching pedagogy and reinforce  
the fundamentals of chromatic play.  We will cover everything from  
tone, phrasing, corner switch, dynamics, speed, rhythm, reading and  
practice habits, etc.  I teach you the tools to play the instrument  
and you take those tools into any kind of music you wish from jazz to  
classical to blues to folk to blue grass, etc.

The seminar is suitable for anyone wanting to gain more knowledge  
about the chromatic.  It should be fun to get several players  
together for intense sessions. It moves very fast and will give you  
stuff to practice and how to practice for the next ten years which is  
what all musicians do.

Please email me if you wish to come.

The next step will be a refundable deposit of $100 to me, just to  
avoid last minute pullouts.  I will have allow you to pull out up to  
one week before the seminar without losing the deposit.

Harmonically yours,
