[Harp-L] Harmonica Workshop August 24-30



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
