Re: [Harp-L] Giving harp workshop

[IcemanLE@xxxxxxx]

If you wish to venture into the education side of harmonica, you just have  
to go out and do it to find where your strengths and weaknesses are. The 
first  workshop will not be your best, but will give you an idea of what this 
arena is  like.
 
The advice of others is nice, but you have to find your own groove and  
match it with what you have to offer that is unique and reflects where you are  
at.
 
Some discover that, after a workshop or two, where they are is not  exactly 
where they thought they were, so it is a good way to discover more about  
yourself.
 
However, I do promise you this - if you pursue this aspect of education, it 
 will make you a better communicator and player, although it does not suit 
all  personalities to teach.

Hi
A  local folk festival has asked me to give a Blues Harmonica workshop.  
I've
played for many years but my teaching experience is limited, so  I'd
appreciate any advice from you experienced teachers: What's good to try  to
teach in a setting like that? I assume there will be 20-30 people  (tops),
nearly all of them fairly new to the instrument (if they play at  all) and
I'll have about an hour, give or take. How should I approach  this?
Thanks
Hammer
