Reminder: Monthly Masterclass Series, class 20, SUNDAY 8/28/22 "Adapting to Change"

Hi Everyone!

This is a reminder about the upcoming Monthly Master Series Class 20, SUNDAY 8/28from 11am - 12:30pm EDT called "Adapting to Change." The donation is $10 for those still in school and $15-20 for those out of school.

The object of this class is to embrace change knowing that we have been living and changing our whole lives, from the VERY BEGINNING! With every change in life whether physical, emotional, mental, career, schooling, moving to a different area, new job, leaving a job you name it! And oftentimes with many of these changes there is a need for what is popularly known as lifestyle changes.

So in looking at this we will go from the philosophical to the practical applications in regards to our own playing. The more we incorporate the truth about life changing, we come to realize that there are the "known unknown" changes and the "unknown unknown" changes that happen in life. Of course many changes affect our music making just not physically but mentally and emotionally as well.

We are going to go beyond attitudes that pin us down and can influence our thinking about ourselves as we get on in years. We are going to find the ways and means to embrace change through a bigger picture of what art and life are about. Sounds good uh? We'll see what we can get up to in 90 minutes! :-)

Looking forward to seeing those who participate!
