KNOWING YOUR ACCORDION

Workshop Presented by Jim Tobler

Everything you wanted to know about you accordion, but had no one to ask. For instance: How is it constructed?  How does it work?  When something goes wrong, can you fix it yourself ?   The workshop will include disassembly of the accordion to show all the details of the internal workings.

Jim will be happy to assess your accordion if you wish to bring it to the class. Jim is a technician and salesman with Petosa Accordions of Seattle and has done extensive restorations and repairs of all brands of accordions. He has done service work for many prominent artists; who include Tony Lovello, Dick Contino,
Louis Fanucchi and Nick Ballarini.

HOW TO PUT STYLE INTO YOUR PLAYING

Learn from this master player how technique, rhythm and dynamics put style into music. Participants at all levels are welcome to bring a song for example and discussion and also welcome to bring accordions for “hands on” participation.

Janet is known for playing a wide spectrum of music and stylizing it for high impact—from classics, semi-classics, ethnic, Broadway, movie themes, bluegrass, patriotic,  to popular. She can help you “stylize” any music as well as put “your style and feeling” on it. Participants at all levels are welcome to bring a song to play for discussion and example.

Workshop Date:  FRIDAY,  JUNE 18th / 1:00 p.m. - 2:20 p.m.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
DEMONSTRATING AND COMMUNICATING

A Master Workshop with Andy Mirkovich

When you perform, do you demonstrate your abilities before an audience or do you really connect and communicate with that audience?  Musicians and entertainers who are the most successful, the most sought after, score higher in competitions and earn more money for their performances all have one thing in common, they don't just demonstrate their technical abilities, they communicate something special that touches, moves and inspires their audiences.  

Regardless of age or experience, this workshop will offer you the opportunity to be more successful musically than you have ever been before.
