Finding Melodies on Your Instrument with Ira Gitlin
November 19, 2022 @ 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
$55
Saturday, November 19, 10:30 – 12:30 PM EST
Whether you’re playing lead or rhythm, being able to find melodies on your own is an essential skill for any instrumentalist. We’ll explore techniques for finding the notes you hear in your head, so you can forge the connections between your ears, brain, hands, and fingerboard, making you a better and more self-sufficient player.
This workshop is open to ALL string instruments!
