What Did You Miss This Week? (Week 453 #449)

Performance!!!
 
Performances in B1 were rockin' last night, including guest Bruce from Germany sitting in for a tune. Karsten Meinel was also visiting and he represents the Mundharmonika Live festival in Klingenthal, Germany. Get yourself to Deutschland in September sometime for this great looking festival: Mundharmonika Live.

Joe made a couple performance suggestions after we played last night. First off, he strongly recommends that you learn to plant a "spotter" in the audience at gigs (and practice it in B1) who gives you visual feedback on your volume. And speaking of volume, in class you should be working closely with your sound guy (namely Joe) on amp and vocal mic volume. Have questions? Make that part of your learning in the Performance class and get a better handle on volume control.

Class Notes
  • Joe's away next week and all group classes proceed as normal with Zoe and Grant at the helm. Private lessons with Joe are cancelled.
  • Rhythm & Chording class meets from 2:00-3:30pm next week.
