The eight o'clock Performance Class make great progress last night working on peoples' performances! We workshopped tunes people are working on, giving them a chance to repeat them, restart them, polish endings and such. It is a great chance for people to practice and work out things with a band that they can't do at home with a practice track. There is also the advantage of getting feedback on the spot from not just Joe, but also the band and others in the class.
It was a great evening of growing and improving.
Class Notes
- No class next week - Fourth of July.
- No recording this session in the Performance Class due to scheduling difficulties and people being away a lot over the summer, but we'll bring it back in the fall. Nothing stops you from starting to workshop a tune now though.
- Speaking of schedules, Joe will be away July 18 and August 1 - no private lessons with him those dates, but all group classes will proceed as normal with Zoe and Grant stepping in as subs.
