Long Beach Musicians LeagueMission StatementOur goal is to bring together all Long Beach Area Musicians to share knowledge and foster a learning environment for the advancement of personal growth in music.Why:When I moved to Long Beach I couldn't swing a stick without hitting a musician. I ended up playing music with a lot of competent, self critical musicians who could not seem to break out of the comfort zone that is the garage. Others I met played in bands one time or another, but they were too stuck living in their past to create anything new.When:Monday Nights at the Puka Bar Stage 8:00 to 11:00 pm. 710 Willow in LB.This is a rough idea of what a month would look like.First MondayMusic theory and application. The night will include 1 hour lecture and 2 hours lab. The first week we will cover Alternate Tunings.Second MondayThe goal is to get bands to unplug and listen to each other. Let's just say almost acoustic.Two Sets of music and some constructive criticism.Third MondayI hope to have LB Musician League members bring something to the table. New song ideas, if not I would like to bring in some authorities in the music business to answer questions.Fourth MondayLong Beach Huntington's Acoustic Electronica Noise Improvisational Freak OutAll learning sessions will be recorded.All other ideas will be entertained. I hope to see all of you on January 7th 2008.Thanks, Long Beach HuntingtonIf you have any questions I have a Musicians League post atTheDistrictWeekly.com in the readers forum.
