Duets: How Piano and Guitar Can Learn To Play Together and Love It.
Dom Minasi, guitar, Michael Jefry Stevens, piano
It’s unusual to hear two chordal and percussive instruments play well together. This workshop will encompass the different techniques needed to do just that.  Dom Minasi & Michael Jefry Stevens will demonstrate single note improv, chords, chordal clusters, the use of the ‘wall of sound, concept’ space, odd time signatures with the 4/4 meter, how to listen while still being free and yet stay musical at all times.
