Date Saturday: October 10th
​Time: 4:00pm - 6:00 pm
Cost: $50 (price of workshop includes show)

Join Frank for an afternoon guitar workshop and an evening performance. The beginning of the workshop will focus on often overlooked fundamentals. Addressing these issues will help build a strong foundation on the guitar. Topics will include Left/Right Hand positions; holding the guitar to get the best tone and dynamics; breakdown of fundamental chord shapes and applying them across the fretboard; fingerpicking approaches to build independence between thumb and fingers; back picking upstrokes with thumb.
The second half will explore techniques, grooves and runs using archetypal songs and how they're applied throughout the Blues canon. The focus will be mainly the key of C with references to D, E & A (with songs from Julius Daniels, Mississippi John Hurt, Robert Johnson, Blind Blake and more).
Notepad and recorder recommended.

"Inspired by the ethereal beauty of Luke Jerram’s Museum of the Moon, “Dance · Moon,” presented by Chinese Culture Arts Association, is a poetic tribute to the moon’s quiet majesty and its timeless presence — transcending generations, cultures, and words.

This original gala interweaves classical and ethnic dance traditions — from the flowing elegance of Han dance and the grounded strength of Tibetan movement to the sweeping vitality of Mongolian rhythm and other rich cultural expressions. Each performance embodies a different phase of moonlight: gentle, radiant, mysterious, and eternal.

Through the universal language of movement, Chinese Culture Arts Association’s “Dance · Moon” invites audiences of all backgrounds to share in a night of wonder, longing, and reunion beneath the moon — where tradition meets contemporary artistry.

Chinese Culture Arts Association (CCAA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established in the New Jersey region.
