[Harp-L] On line lessons or seminars

[Robert Bonfiglio <BON@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear List,

I  had a wonderful concert in Hong Kong, 9  encores!!!   Kings  
Harmonica Quintet made a great host for a very successful Seminar  
where students played movements Harmonica concerti and some Bach.   
Will send the review if we get one.  Also like to thank Tony Eyers  
for putting me up on his site about the concert and seminar.  Very  
hard to watch hotel TV while I was in HK because the earthquake is  
covered 24/7.

Now about teaching private lessons and seminars on line:
What I need to know from each and every harmonica player is just  
exactly what they need to learn, i.e., where are they in their  
playing.  Mention the following in need of help: scales and  
arpeggios, sight-reading, rhythm, phrasing, tone, technique including  
speed, corner switching, articulation, vibrato, power, etc.  Where do  
you wish to take your playing?

For example, "I am a blues player and use 3rd position mostly, but I  
can read music a little.  I play only whistle position would like to  
learn corner switching.  I need work on rhythm when I sight-read,  
etc  I want to play jazz on chromatic."

Then I will know which players are ready for private lessons and  
which would be best for my seminar that covers all the basics.

I can only guarantee that you will end up a better player if you  
study with me.  How much better depends on you and how much you  
practice.  My only goal is to take you where you want to go, NOT  
where I want go.

Harmonically yours,

Robert Bonfiglio
