Japan Tap Seminar took place in Tokyo 5/16/09 - 5/17/09. 

The seminar was a great success, with many different styles of tappers. Instructions by Toshiaki Kanamaru & Kai Kurosawa.

Many hours were spent on various topics, including a master class by master organist Kiyomi Otaka who shared her insight on independence. 

The next seminar is being planned for May of 2010.

Guitar, Bass and Tapping Retreat

Enjoy a rejuvenating four days (July 31- Aug 3) of guitar workshops, master-classes, recording sessions, impromptu jams and energizing concerts on the pristine mountain campus of Saint Francis University in Loretto, PA.

The 2007 Guitar Retreat Series is a one of a kind four-day guitarist learning community where you can learn everything from the basics to advanced concepts and techniques of this incredible instrument. If you're a complete beginner, this is for you. If you have some experience with the guitar, you'll gain valuable new skills and insights. If you're a pro already join us to further expand your capacity as a player and musician. Most of all, you'll enjoy and grow.

Since 2004, the focus of this program has been to engage students as well as adult learners from all over the United States in a culturally rich, all-inclusive music program.

Our philosophy is that students learn best in a completely hands-on, relaxed, safe environment without the pressure of being perfect. Beginners are warmly welcomed. This program is built for adults over 18. Enrollment is very limited. Register today. For more info, please visit: http://www.jimdonovanmusic.com/guitar07home.html

FOR TOUCH-INSTRUMENTALISTS: Whether you prefer to tap on 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 strings (or any number in between), I’ll be providing opportunities to learn techniques which encompass: bass and treble independence, recording of stereo instruments, effects routing and bussing techniques important to our approach, jamming concepts for solo, duo, trio, settings, etc.

With the registration of only a few more wishing to concentrate on touch techniques, we’ll be able to hire at least one more touch-guitar instructor to enrich the experience.

This is a great opportunity to concentrate on generalities and specifics, relax and play, play, play. To register, please visit: http://www.jimdonovanmusic.com/guitar07home.html.
