THE INSTRUCTOR: Corky Siegel. 50 years of conducting this workshop around the world. Trailblazing legend of Siegel-Schwall, Chamber Blues and Symphonic Blues. National award winning composer. Guest soloist for the major symphony orchestras with a catalogue of recordings on Deutsche Grammophon, RCA, Vanguard, and Alligator. Internationally traveled blues piano and harmonica virtuoso, singer-songwriter, and author of Let Your Music Soar.
Of possible interest to the folk music crowd: I produced Joni Mitchell's last demo tape with her hit, Circle Game. I also performed on almost all of the cuts on Steve Goodman's last live album and performed 5 piano and harmonica cuts on John Prine's album, Bruised Orange. :-)
DESCRIPTION: This workshop shares secrets and shortcuts that will immediately enhance most aspects of musical performance at any skill level, including expression, excitement, musicality, tone, fun, intimacy and power, and will result in the listeners being more attracted, drawn, moved, and even mesmerized by the presentation.
I have been a musician for 45 years playing bass and everything from symphony orchestras to jazz, rock, folk, country, and zydeco band, to renaissance groups. This has been the most powerful musicianship tool I've ever found. —Mark Gray, Performer, MusicEducator, Roaring Fork High School and Carbondale Middle School, Carbondale, Colorado
