Accordion Monster Master Class - OAKLAND

Whether you are a polka wizard, or you've never picked up a squeezebox in your life, there will be something for you to learn at our Accordion Monster Master Class. Topics of discussion will include, but not be limited to: choosing an accordion, left-hand technique, DIY instrument repair, audience participation, accordion for punks, repairing your van with a handgun, and the role of the accordionist in the digital era. We may even learn to play a song.

Your instructors will be accordion monsters: Jason Webley, Mark Growden, Amy Denio and Aaron "Duckmandu" Seeman. Seeman is a professional accordion teacher. Growden and Denio have backgrounds in education and much experience with this type of workshop. Webley is in no way qualified to teach you anything.

It is recommended, though not absolutely necessary for you to bring an accordion to class.

The class will take place on the afternoons of Sunday, August 17th in Oakland, CA.

The workshops will last approximately 2.5 hours and will cost $20.
