Yun Lee of BEATZ taught a full class of people about the art of DJing, and it was lots of fun.  Now I want to buy a couple of turn tables and a mixer too!  The Intro to DJing Seminar raised money for a scholarship fund in honor of a BEATZ student who was killed in a violent crime last year. 

We'll be offering another class on February 25, 2010, so if you missed this one, please register for that one soon.  The class size is limited so that people can have hands on experience.  Tell your friends and come and learn the basics of DJing.  Yun Lee is an excellent teacher - very laid back, fun and full of encouragement and patience.  I'm sure everyone in the class last night would say they had a great time.  Check out some picture below.

What classes would you like to teach or take?  Please tell us in the comments below.

Today is Mozart's birthday (geburtztag) and Maestro Stephen Paulson of Symphony Parnassus and Principal Bassoonist with the San Francisco Symphony, is performing this evening in a concert sponsored by Classical Revolution.

Details:
Tonight, Wed. Jan. 27, from 6 to 10:30 PM
SoCha Cafe, 3235 Mission St., San Francisco.
and proceeds benefit Haiti earthquake relief.

Stephen Paulson will be performing two works, along with many other young Bay Area musicians in a program of chamber works (6 - 8 PM) and chamber orchestra (8 - 10:30 PM). At around 7 PM, I'll play a transcription of Adagio and Rondo (bassoon and piano), with Ian Scarfe, and at around 8 PM, Mr. Paulson will be back with the Bassoon Concerto K. 191 with chamber orchestra with Mr. Scarfe conducting. According to Mr. Paulson "I will include a cadenza written for the occasion, which will attempt to incorporate the Haitian National Anthem. Should be fun. They do serve alcohol."

If classical music isn't your thing or you're just not free tonight or you live to far from San Francisco, please consider purchasing the Haiti HOPE collection on iTunes.

Remember every penny counts.

Here's some very exciting news for us:  We just received notice that we have been approved for the Google Grants program.  Why is this exciting?  Because now we can advertise our classes and website for free on Google.  We applied on September 13, 2009, (link goes to our post on that) so it took just over four months to get the approval.  And there's a 36 page PDF to read through before we can set up out account, but we have it and that is a HUGE help.  Hooray and thank you Google!
