David Friedman is such a wealth of information. David usually gets students to play and he asks questions and build his classes around that. They are truly amazing. David can take a student and change their playing for the better right in front of your eyes. Everyone else also learns a ton from watching him. He also gets everyone playing and working on things together. He’s a master on the instrument as well as playing the instrument.
In addition there will be rhythm section players available at the end of each day so we can play and talk about playing in a band. Comping in realtime! Soloing with the band right there!
The School and Lodging
Classes will take place in a beautiful space in the school. Plenty of room for instruments and us! There will be practice rooms for us to practice.
Lodging
As for lodging, there is a lot of it! Use Air BnB for starters. If you are coming with your partner and want to stay at a hotel, check out the hotels on Broad Street. Your partner will have plenty to do! Any of the hotels in the Center City area are about a 20 minute or so walk. It’s great! Also just a few dollars for an Uber ride. There’s tons to do in the evening as well!
