The Old Avoca Schoolhouse in Avoca, Nebraska will be streaming three on line “Klezmer Tunes for Two Workshops” for recorder players, fiddlers, violists, cellists, bassists, and mandolinists. These on-line Workshops will be on Tuesday, November 8, 7 PM, Central Time, Wedesday, November 9, 10 AM, Central Time, and Friday, November 11, 7 PM, Central Time. Different tunes will be played at each session. Each participant will receive a copy of our “Klezmer Fiddle Tunes For Two” book, arranged for the instrument of their choice. Just as in all of the collections in the Tunes for Two series these books contain the same tunes in the same keys making it easy for you to play with a friend playing another instrument. During the Workshop, we will read, play, and discuss various survival skills for these kinds of pieces. A treble clef version of the sheet music for the tunes being played will be displayed on the screen during the workshop. There is limited enrollment, and pre-registration is required. The fee for each “Klezmer Tunes for Two Workshop” is $25.00. For more information, and to register: Reviews... “...The attraction of these collections is the wealth of material made available for use in a variety of ways... The arrangements are written in keys that can be played in the first position, although use of 2nd and 3rd positions will ease some string crossings and augmented 2nd stretches (the majority of the Klezmer tunes favour the harmonic minor tonality)...The printing and layout of this publication are excellent--- easy to read and well-thought out---no page turns...witty and concise program notes at the back---including suggestions for playng... Publications such as this offer limitless potential to teachers, students (levels 3 & 4 and higher), amateurs and professionals. Deborah Greenblatt continues to publish outstanding materials that will provide hours of enjoyment for violists looking for something different, interesting and fun.” - Susan Lipchak Canadian Viola Society Newsletter, Spring 2007
