Aonzo Manhattan Workshop

[LKN2MYIS]

I signed up for the "Exercise And Technique" portion of Carlo Aonzo's Manhattan workshop in March of 2009.

Anyone else here sign up?

[vkioulaphides]

Well... I am registered for all other sessions, weekend-long, as I have done for the past several years. Wouldn't you want to join us for all that mando-orchestral fun? ;)

In fact, I did take the "Exercise and Technique" session once (or twice), and enjoyed it; I highly recommend it, although my own schedule makes attending a Friday morning session difficult, if not impossible.

Stick around, say "Hi!"...

Cheers,

Victor

Ditto what Victor says. I have never missed any of these New York Aonzo workshops. I did take the exercise part a few times in the early days but forego them -- not because i don't need them but just so I can get ready for the other fun. it is always an intense but super-inspiring weekend.

Also, for the last few years, Carlo has been scheduling a concert a day or so before. Hopefully that will happen next year as well and is certainly not to be missed.

[LKN2MYIS]

I am light years from being qualified enough for the other sessions.

The one I'm in should be enough to keep me busy for the next 25 years.

[LKN2MYIS]

By the way, for you veterans, will I be allowed to record the
"Exercises and Techniques" class, or is that a no-no?

[Jim Garber]

I don't think that Carlo would object, but as a courtesy to instructors, I always as if it is all right to record. They usually encourage it.

[LKN2MYIS]

Without a doubt. I'll run it by Chaim way in advance, just to make sure.

If I don't record it, I know that I should have. If I do record it, I'll never listen to it.

Just one of those things . . . .

[Ira Chavis]

John, you definitely should sit through the orchestra! Alot to learn and great folks!

[LKN2MYIS]

Ira -

I know it will be.

I'm not up to the level of playing in the orchestra yet. Chaim did say that I could observe that class, if I chose. It's a scheduling thing, but I'm going to try to.

This is very exciting for me.

Bill:
Thanks for posting Ali's videos. I love Victor's Diferencias on the mandola but on the mandola it has an even more haunting feeling. Excellent!! And a real chance to see Ali play.
