So how can i send a general request to all the members ?

[Duduk]

your doing just fine - the only problem is if your Emial address is not wrapped in a cod box - it will be all over the Internet in next 4 to 5 days - next think you know you will get junk mail that you can;t end unless you get a new email address -


also fell free to use the PM future of the forum it will keep your email privet and at the same time you can communicate w/ everyone

believe me i'm a found of an popular Armenian forum - have Beeeennnnn doing this for bit over 10 years you don't; need your email address published in a open forum

Thanks for your help. Maybe we can organize something in your area. I'm sure you can suggest someone you know plays professionally and would not mind giving lessons.

Ok. Sounds good. I'll wait to see the responses, although I'm not sure I expressed the issue with all members through the site. Do you have an idea what their cost would be ?

[Duduk]

for me it's a a good experience and fun / we charge nothing
it will be good idea for you to bring your duduks & all of your reed's
i will look in to them see if you need to have them fine tuned / get them ready for the class - this way all of the duduk's will be matching

as for the $ for the masters - depending on who the master will be & how many students, how many classes & how long
depending if the master knows English or not - if not - we need to bring in a translator

i recommend not more then 3 students at the time, 4 at the most.

It will be good idea if the students are same "caliber" - what I'm trying to say - a beginner and a Intermediate musician can;t be in the same class -IT will be to advanced for a beginner and a More advanced musician's might not get anything out of it, if the master is going to start from 0

one of the first thinks to do - for each and everyone to take a moment and see what is he looking for / haw much do yo know and what do you wish to learn - ofcourse the master will listen to you - test haw you play haw advanced you are - then will decide what you need first

then after we know haw many of you need to be in the beginners / how many need to be in more advanced / how many need to be in Mugham ( improvisation ) we will find the master that will be suitable for the class

Most of the time we will video tape the lessons & gave each one of you a copy on the end, this way you have something to go back to just in case you will forget something in a week you might not even remember 30-to-40% of it

3 months a go we had 4 students for a week - 4 classes- each class 2 hours - one hour class - 1 hour rest then 1 hour class
1 class every other day / so you have a day to practice / work on what you have learned before you go back
it was done in our shop so no $$ was spend renting a classroom - but if you wish it can be arranged - also in Pasadena one of our cultural centers or schools that we work with can provide a room - sorry don;t know the cost - if any

our shop is located in Pasadena on Colorado Blvd. many motels are available and are close by, in walking distance - so the chose is your - you tell me how you wish for me to organize the class and we will do it for you

OK. Sounds good to me. Will see how many responses we get. I'm going to assume they will be beginners.

Are these instructors local ?

[Duduk]

yes

[ben_horwood]

Sounds like fun but...

1. I live on the wrong side of the Earth (Australia)
2. I am very busy at the moment with my college studies
3. I am broke, and I don't actually own a duduk (yet)

But count me there in spirit at least

Maybe next time my circumstances will be more favourable.

[Duduk]

Ok. Moses - You are saying that 150.00 cover a 2 hour session with up to 4 players total. Therefore approx $ 40.00 each ? If that is the deal, then I can go for that. I have approx 216 hits on that question of lessons but only a few takers at the moment. I wonder how I can get to these guys , or even I am getting to them through e-mail. I understand that only Northamerican members have a better chance to attend. Your thoughts?
