Intermediate Guitar: Playing Lead and Rhythm Guitar Up the Neck @ Tucson Jewish Community Center
Oct 3 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Have you hit a wall in your playing?  Trapped in the first 3 frets of the guitar?  This class will break you out of that, and have you playing lead and rhythm guitar all over the neck.  Class will be blues heavy, with it being understood that jazz, rock and country can be approached in much the same way.  Movable chords, pentatonic scales and the ability to use them are still some of the most important tools in a guitar player’s tool case.

Instructor:  George Rowe

CREATING A WORK OF JEWISH ART: PERFORMANCE @ Tucson JCC
Oct 4 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to create your art for the big stage?  Would you like to come together with other creative spirits and produce a work of Jewish Art?

Just imagine collaborating to create a theme where you contribute both your art: musician, writer, visual artist or dancer, etc., as a ‘solo’ journey, and as a fusion of all the arts combined, culminating in a momentous, performance.

If you want to bring your art to the next level, this is the class for you!  Note:  Some of you may not want to perform, but may choose to create work, performed by others, in your group.  This is perfectly acceptable!

Instructor:  Debra Levasseur-Lottman/Presenter, Choreographer-Performer/Dance Educator B.A., Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago &  MFA, In Studio, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
