Gulpan - Updates


Workshop Dates - July 18, 25, Aug 1st
I'm very happy with the response I've gotten. As of now, I'm planning on running the workshop for the weeks of July 18, 25 and August 1. The July 25th session will be a continuation of the 18th beginners level, though newcomers will be accepted. The August 1st week will be for a more intermediate level. If you've attended the earlier workshops, kept up with the practicing, and have been progressing, you should be ok taking it. We will be learning and using barre chords however.

Fees$400 for one workshop, $300 for each additional session should you want to continue. Talk to me if you want to trade for scholarships/discounts.

Pre-Workshop Lessons 1st lesson included with workshop. Additional lessons $10 each.

I'm planning on giving basic beginning group lessons before the workshop, once or twice a week at a time to be determined (I'm open on times and may do another doodle). These will be for people who have never played or are very rusty. If you have special physical or posture issues, I will try to help you with that. Following the Ulpan analogy, I would like to see everyone at the aleph plus level going into the workshop, meaning you can play the chords mentioned previously even if very slowly. I will also outline how to set up a practice schedule and will look at your guitar if you want me to evaluate it for playability.

I've been working out the workshop program and think it will be fun and productive for all. As stated previously, I'm maximizing it so ideally half the time will spent playing. This is the best way I know to rapidly improve.

Keep checking this site for updates. I will post registration information within a couple days.

Btw, I have another blog I posted previously that may be helpful:

Also check the lower right hand section marked 'Pages'. I will be putting music and info in there.
