Re: New Irish Camp in Portal, AZ, October 13-18 2011
Thanks all for the positive feedback--we're really happy with the cast of instructors for this inaugural year. Yes, Portal is remote, but incredibly beautiful. We think it's an ideal spot for total immersion in the music and total relaxation. What better way to enhance your musical abilities!
We're also featuring an innovative daily schedule. Each day will include two immersive class periods (2 hours each), plus a 1-hour learning session, and a 50-minute intensive workshop period. The learning sessions will focus on new tunes and playing well in sessions. The workshops will range all over the place, calling on the faculties' strengths and special interests. Likely workshop topics will include learning by ear, inventing variations, drilling into technique, developing personal style, etc. And of course there will be sessions every night for all abilities.
Registrations are already trickling in, so make your plans early. Space is limited so that we can keep class sizes small--more one-on-one time with the instructors!
