with a Focus on You, and the Joys of Jamming.

Friday 5:30 pm to 9pm,

Sunday 9:30 am to 2:30 pm

$445  for "new campers"   (does not include hotel or food)
$425  prior campers
http://www.gindick.com/Engine/Shopping/catalog.asp?store=6&category=256

Harmonica Jam Camp for Blues & Country is a two-day seminar with world
renown, master player/teacher Jon Gindick that focuses on YOU.
Your Mission with Jon and Jam Camp team? Identifying your next level,
and helping you achieve it and beyond in two days of intense teaching,
learning, practice and jamming.

Jon's  team of coaches:

Larry "The Iceman"  Eisenberg, one of the harmonica world's most renown
teachers.

Allen Radcliffe-Holmes, one of the county's most exciting jazz diatonic
harp players, and an inspirational,  inventive harmonica teacher.

Joe Filisko,  one of  the most respected respected harmonica teacher/
players./customizers in the world.

Dennis Gruenling, one of the most respected and influential harp
players today.

When you arrive Friday night or Saturday morning, you will play for
Jon, get feedback, evaluation, and also tell us what you¹re looking for 
in the
seminar. (this can also be done by phone, prior.) Together we will discuss
your goals and problems, and identify your next level and the learning
techniques that will get you there. Then, with Jon and other musicians,
we will jam until it¹s time to go to bed, or they throw us out.

On Saturday and Sunday, we will spend focused, repetitive,
skill-developing time in exercises and practice circles. As each day 
goes on,
there will be three or four classes on different topics, each relevant 
to players
at all levels. We will study and practice tone, embouchure, articulation,
hands, tongue-blocking, I-IV-V chord progressions, chugging, jamming 
theory,
cross harp melody, cross harp riffs, position playing 1-6 plus 12, the harp
player as singer, how to learn, how to teach, how to set up a band,
amplification, learn to play songs line by line, and you will jam, jam, jam.

Want an idea of what it looks like? Go to
http://www.gindick.com/thumbBrowser.aspx
Notice how every body has a harp in their mouth.

A word of warning: Jon plays harmonica and guitar at the same time and
teaches in jam circles. In a jam circle, we go around the room, each
playing with Jon and his guitar. We play as a group. We play solos. We 
create
rhythms. We sing. We become musical. If you are closet player, this is
your time to ³come on out² in a supportive, structured environment. We have
several meeting rooms  in which we can separate and yet still be together.
To assure sanity and attention, the enrollment is limited to thirty-five
people. It will be stimulating, but structured so you can hear yourself
think and play. This inexpensive harmonica jam camp experience is about
YOU and the joy of jamming.
