No. Because I don't know what I'm doing at the workshop. I have taught
Beginners mandolin for five years now, and there was always people at
the end of the course who wanted an Intermediate mandolin course, but
never enough to warrant it. (Actually, I think I could probably fill an
Intermediate class, but another problem is that I simply don't have
time.) ALP were very keen for me to do a workshop so I gave in and said
I'd do it, but I haven't thought a lot about what to do in it. All
suggestions welcome!

One thing will be playing "up the neck", or "in the positions". I was
hoping to go to a weekend workshop in Darlington this month, but I just
can't afford it. I'd have been looking for tips as well as finally
treating myself to a workshop. I'll be spending some considerable time
between now and February thinking about it and formulating what I'm to
do. I feel such a fraud.

It's on Saturday 9th February, by the way.
