It sounds good but I'm curious. If you want to attend both sessions would we have to pay $20.00 for each or is it just one charge?

What's going to happen in the workshop? Never experienced an occasion. I suspect it's no different than a dance workshop

when I spoke to Derick about his format, he said generally he shows and teaches all his variations of strumming and picking and how to incorporate these techniques into songs. There will be open discussion after each class for further questions about technique and approaches. For everyone attending he will also be providing a DVD w/ footage of himself discussing those techniques again and what was taught in each class so you don't have to stress on taking notes.

It's really nice when we can get these virtuoso ukulele players like Aldrine and Derick available to speak to and learn from in person. I recommend gathering as many questions you may have and get as many answers you can! It's not everyday we get these talented guys in from the islands, yeah?

AND bring your sharpie markers to get your ukes signed! AND you're digital cameras!! Makes for great memories!

pass the word! Shoots!

The Pacific Arts Dance Studio is a prime venue for teaching. There is a mirror covering the wall behind the instructors that allows us to see all angles of what's going on. I went to the workshop with Aldrine and Rayan and even though the studio was packed, the lessons were very intimate. Aldrine and Rayan spent the time with each of us individually to make sure we understood the material. For those who don't know, Aldrine's a high school music teacher an an excellent one at that. Those of us who attended will attest to that. I also learned how to play a Tahitian percussion there. The instructor spoke no English, but was still able to coach all of us individually how to get it right. Joey Junior used to be a high school music teacher, too. He's an excellent instructor and any San Diegan's that want to turbocharge their ukulele learning curve should sign up for his next class session. Ric

Dayam, Joey! It's kinda' like buy the DVD and get the class for free. What a nice bonus. Ric

Saturday's gonna' be a great workshop for sure. Derick gave a mini workshop a few minutes before his concert last night at the Moonlight Beach Ukulele Strummers in Encinitas last night. He told me he's going to be teaching his strumming methods and fingerpicking. Derick is a natural at breaking it down into layman's terms. This is gonna' be way cool! Ric

wearymicrobe · Jan 15, 2009

Count me in guys I will be there.

JoeyJr858 · Jan 15, 2009

I saw Derick play last night at Seau's last night in person. 1 WORD... AMAZING!! Talked to him after and he's SUPER stoked and SUPER humble to be here in the mainland!!!

Saturday... can't wait..!!!

ricdoug · Jan 16, 2009

Ditto on 'dat, Joey! Yo' homeboy Derick smokes da' fretboard. He speaks fluent Pidgin 'n Fob, too! LOLZ! Ric
