This Summer we will be adding a special guest to our faculty for the week. We will be welcoming percussionist Curtis Andrews to our faculty. Curtis will be working with all of our students for the week and introducing us to the world of African drumming and we will be exploring some new techniques and meshing them into the world of improvisation and jazz.

Find out more about Curtis on his website at http://curtisandrews.ca/

We are also pleased to announce the return of our workshop faculty for our 2013 tenth anniversary summer session. Len Aruliah (saxes), Bill Clark (trumpet), Brad Muirhead (trombone), Jared Burrows (Guitar), Rob Kohler (bass), Stephen Robb (reeds, piano) and Stan Taylor (drums).

It is hard to believe this year’s festival has already come and gone. Wow, what a great week working with the workshop students and the faculty. This year we had 6 bands and more than 35 participants working with 7 faculty and 3 teaching assistnats from Capilano University.  A big thankyou to Jared Burrows, Bill Clark  and Rob Kohler for their enormous contributions in helping with organizing and giving their huge wealth of experience to the kids.   An equally  big thank you to Len Aruliah, Brad Muirhead and Stan Taylor who continue to lead and inspire us and help make this such a great week for us all!

Most of my update posts are now on the Delta Community Music School facebook page, so if you are looking for regular updates as to what is happening, and for more photos and info from this year’s workshop, that would be the place to look.
