[Harp-L] Harmonica Workshop August 24-30

[Jason Rosenblatt <jason@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Harmonicists,

It's time once again for me to plug my KlezKanada harmonica workshop.  
Over the past seven years I've been giving a harmonica workshop at  
KlezKanada, a week-long intensive program of Eastern-European Jewish  
music and Yiddish culture. It's a great time, tonnes of jamming,  
concerts, lectures, ensembles with approximately 450 participants.  
The program happens at the end of August, but spots fill up quickly  
so it's best to contact the director soon.

My class is designed for intermediate/advanced diatonic harmonica  
players who are interested in exploring the possibilities of playing  
chromatically on the diatonic harmonica. We cover basic klezmer/ 
middle-eastern modes in several different keys on one diatonic and  
apply knowledge of these modes to learning klezmer melodies. For the  
more advanced players I get into techniques of  overblowing/ 
overdrawing etc. - Getting into knowing the notes on the harmonica as  
opposed to playing in "positions." and exploring jazz standards,  
bluegrass melodies etc.

If you would like more information about the camp check out http:// 
www.klezkanada.org or email me offlist.

Best wishes,

Jason Rosenblatt
