What does a Harmonica, Singer & Drum clinic cover and how does it work?

This is a very unique class taught by two Masters of their Craft bringing 
over 50 years of combined Stage & Recording experience of players that have 
worked with a wide variety of artists from Blood Sweat and Tears to Aretha 
Franklin, Steely Dan and The Original Blues Brothers Band.

The seminar covers invaluable techniques with playing, recording and 
performance tips guaranteed to make you a more versatile and skillful 
Musician.

Rob has been honing his craft as a Chromatic & Diatonic Harmonica player as 
well as Frontman-Lead Singer (who also double on Guitar & Piano) since 1967. 
NY based, he has created harmonica parts for Broadway shows and played on 
many Jingles, TV shows and Artist sessions. He taught Harmonica (all styles) 
at The Turtle Bay Music School in NYC and studied with players like Cham-Ber 
Huang, Toots Theilemans and Magic Dick. On the road Rob has been Musical 
Director for Bernard Purdie and Chuck Rainey and fronted The Legendary 
Original Blues Brothers Band as well as Blood Sweat and Tears large concerts 
around the globe.

Drummer Bernard Purdie came to NYC in 1960 from Elkton Maryland and never 
looked back. His 1st gig was with King Curtis and The Kingpins and that led 
to the title of one of the most recorded drummers in the world. From Steely 
Dan to Aretha, Quincy and Jeff Beck to name a few.

Bernard has taught classes not only in Drumming but ensemble playing at The 
New School in NYC with former students like Larry Goldings (Organ) and John 
Popper (Harmonica).


HARP & DRUM CLINIC (Rob Paparozzi and Bernard "Pretty" Purdie)

Who can benefit from this type of clinic?


   The combined forces of  Rob & Bernard is NOT a class just for Harmonica 
Players and Drummers. It is for ALL aspiring musicians: Sax, Brass, Bass, 
Singers, Keyboardist and Recording engineers can all come away with a deeper 
understanding of Musical Communication both live and in the Studio.

Bernard especially encourages the parents, the families of Music lovers and 
players too attend and learn how to direct and guide their children to a 
respected and fulfilling career in the field.

How it works and what you'll need. The Clinic runs 2-3    hrs. Drummers 
should bring sticks, brushes and a notebook and even some questions you've 
made up in advance for Bernard. The Drummers will discuss methods and 
technique with Bernard and with a full kit on hand as it will be a hands on 
workshop. The Drummers will work in one room for the first 2/3 of the 
workshop as will the Harmonica Players in their own room. Harp Players 
should bring all keys and a chromatic if they have one.

All others just bring a pad and pen to keep notes in.

During the last portion, both groups will gather in the larger room for 
full-blown Demo of Rob & Bernard on Stage with a few pre recorded tracks 
minus Drums and Harmonica and both explain the dynamics of musical 
interaction and stage tips, again, useful for ALL Instrumentalists and 
Singers.

Love & Peace,
Rob Paparozzi
