If you want to improve your bouzouki playing or expand your possibilities, you should definitely sign up.
Payment is based on the principle of pay what you can. The default amount is $25.50, but you are free to choose any amount you like.
Perhaps you shouldn't just choose $1, because then there is a possibility that such workshops might not be able to take place in the future.
You can enroll here or just click on the picture on the left.
And by the way, if you play any other instrument, there are lots more workshops on offer here.
Here's the announcement from the website:
Strumming away at chords certainly has its place, but there’s a whole gamut of options that can be employed in Irish music accompaniment. We’ll explore a palette of ideas including partial chords, countermelodies, how melodies inform accompaniment, rhythmic choices including minimal (the oft-quoted “music is the space between the notes” can be applied to accompaniment as well as to melodies). Demonstrations will be primarily on the bouzouki but the concepts apply to guitar and other forms of accompaniment. Instructor: Randy Clepper
Who's this for: Bouzouki, guitar, other accompaniment instruments
Level: Advanced Beginners/Intermediate/Advanced Will this class be taught by ear, with sheet music, or both? By ear Cost: Pay what it's worth to you. (The checkout page defaults to $25, but that's not the suggested price...choose what works for you. Thanks!)
Video: Registered students will receive the class recording immediately after the class, so feel free to sign up even if you can't attend live. ___________________________________________________________________ Instructor bio: Randy Clepper is an in-demand player of the Irish bouzouki, guitar, and tenor banjo.
