To me the biggest benefit of a workshop is witnessing the sound your teacher makes with his/her instrument in a small room. If it's intimate enough there is nothing like sitting a few feet away from the player and his instrument.
Aside from that I've learned very little at workshops often because teachers are usually too willing to teach down to the lowest common demoninator in the class. I applaud a teacher's POLITE unwillingness to address questions that should not be asked. If you don't know the blues scale should you be sitting in a workshop with a known blues master? Heck I didn't pay $75 clams to have the teacher tell you what a flatted third is. And while I'm at can you teachers tell those noodlers in class to shut the !...@$@#% up! :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group.
