Howard,
Are you going to hold this workshop in NYC or someplace in the suburbs where we bumpkins can find it?

| This is going to be such a hot event that it may just shut the subways down again. All the transit workers want to come. |

Bill B., it is a lot tougher to find some place in the suburbs. None of the streets are numbered! Why do they do that?
If you're on Reni Road, how do you get to Chestnut road? It's insanity.
If you're on 29th street and have to get to 38th street, well, heck, even a blind hog has a chance of finding an acorn in a snow storm!
I grew up in the suburbs.
Yes, in the middle of NYC, close to most bridges & tunnels. It's easy. Easier than you imagine. So don't let that stop you from attending a fantastic workshop. But you'll still have to find your way around the fretboard... |

Not to mention the fact that in the suburbs you take the chance of making a wrong turn and being face to face with a mob of angry soccer moms. They've been known to drag innocent victims out of their cars and force them to drink Lattes.
Trust me you are much safer in Manhattan. |

| I'm still trying to adjust to the newfangled notion of numbers. All my frets are called main, elm, oak, atlantic, broadway. Who would have known that everybody would cross over to the number system? Which way does Reece teach it? |

I believe Reece transposes each note into names of shrubbery....  |

Jon L....The concern you have about numbers is unfortunately shared by many. It's no secret that I believe numbers (interval distances)is a tremendous shortcut to learning.
So as to place everyones mind at ease, I will be teaching BOTH letters AND numbers at the same time. This becomes possible when I present a simple method which provides everyone the ability to transpose letter to numbers, or numbers to letters within seconds.
Most people are not aware the science of music itself was created by mathematics, therefore the number system was used in music long BEFORE letters were applied.

Please forgive me Reece--I was nothing but fooling around. Just being goofy in response to Howards discussion of the ease of finding your way around NYC streets with numerical names.
It is an interesting subject, though, the philosphy of teaching by fret number vs. note name and the mental transposition between the two disciplines. I guess in the end it's a combination of everything. |

| I take an intermediate theory course one night a week. The instructor is very good. He uses both as appropriate. It is easier for me to understand the relationships using numbers as the letter names are not ingrained or 2nd nature to me. |
