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
