Al will be talking about the ins and outs of blues harmonica playing. He will demonstrate some different styles and techniques he learned from the masters; talk about achieving a good natural tone; explain about playing in major and minor keys; and will touch on how to play in several keys on one harmonica. He will also be taking questions from the audience and will try to tailor the workshop to those specific needs.

Do you know your blues? Come test your knowledge with “Who’s The Blues Artist?” Trivia.  Ken Wallis, host of BluesSource Canada and President of The Escarpment Blues Society presents a fun-filled challenge of identifying who the musician is.  Ken will play ten seconds of a blues tune and you’ll have to identify the musician and write down the name.  You may only hear an intro to a song, a few seconds of a vocal, or a top-notch instrumental solo.  Prizes will be up for grabs for the most correct answers.

This workshop will include discussion on chord progression, how to practice and the value of listening. Also touched on will be schema.
