I’m developing some group clinics and workshops to be presented in 2014. These events will cover a variety of topics, instruments, and skill levels. This post is intended to show some of the ideas that are in the works. To help make these better I would love to hear some of your suggestions, ideas, or needs that could be addressed in a group setting.

Here is a list of the music topics that may be covered in a group seminar.

• Songwriting
• Pentatonic Scales
• Chord Theory
• Chord/Scale Relationships
• Harmony
• Keys/Circle of Fifths/Transposition
• Improvisation
• Technique Building
• Genre Bending

• Intro to Jazz/Blues/Country/Folk/Reggae/Rock/Funk/Latin/
• Intro to Guitar/Uke/Mandolin/Voice/Trumpet

I recently presented a blues workshop for the Bellingham Ukulele Group. We had a great turn out for a successful event. Check a few of the pictures here:
