Joe Deninzon to teach at Mark O’Connor’s String Camp in NYC
It is a huge honor for me to have been selected to be the Rock teacher at Mark O’Connor’s renowned “String Camp”, which will take place in New York City on July 26-30, 2010. The String Camp phenomenon started in Nashville, and was later expanded to LA, and recently, New York City.
Mark O’Connor is considered one of the greatest violinists and composers of our time. A personal hero of mine, who transcends many musical genres. Starting out as a fiddler who was a monster on the Nashville studio scene, he has since branched out into composition and has performed with everyone from Yo Yo Ma and Edgar Mayer to James Taylor. His Violin Method books have just been released, he has written two fiddle concertos and a symphony, and he has made an invaluable contribution to education with his Fiddle Camps.
While I will be focusing on rock and funk violin, there are teachers in a variety of musical genres. These include some of the top players in the business, like Christian Howes and Matt Glaser (jazz), Byrone Berline (bluegrass), Rachel Barton (classical), and Yale Strom (Klezmer), among many others.
If you’re a string player interested in expanding your musical horizons, learning to improvise in many different styles, and immersing yourself in the world of “alternative” string styles in the greatest city in the world, I highly recommend signing up for this camp. It usually fills up half a year in advance, so it’s best to act early.
For more information about the camp, please visit this link...
Take care and I hope to see you out there in the real world!
Peace,
