PHOTOGRAPHY CLASSES/Workshops

 

Basic Digital Photography - If you are new to digital photography or just confused by all those buttons and menus this course is for you. The course is primarily designed for people with a "Point and Shoot" camera or who are looking for information on buying one, but if you have an SLR style camera and are new to digital come on downtown. It's for those who are not yet ready for f-stops and shutter speeds (though they will occasionally be mentioned). If you already have a camera please bring it along. Bring that camera manual (you know the one you can't figure out); it actually can help.  We'll explore the most important part of taking a photo: which way to point the camera and when to press the shutter button. We'll look at the latest features you'll find on digital cameras and how they help you take better photos. You will find out how many megapixels you need and what the heck a pixel is to begin with. Your camera has scene modes. perhaps many of them, so let's find out how to use them to improve your pictures.   6 Week Session  Taught by Jim King.

MUSIC

 

OPEN ENROLLMENT

Guitar Lessons

These one on one lessons will cater largely to what the student wants to achieve.  

If you simply want to learn to accompany yourself as a singer, we will start by learning about the guitar, then move to chords, and how to read charts.  Eventually we will move to reading Roman numerals and playing by ear.  In the end, we will work on playing and singing  at the same time--maybe even writing some music!   With all classes, 

theory will play a strong role.  Depending on the student, the theory could be more or less involved.  If the student wishes to learn guitar and music on a deeper level, they will learn how to read music, apply that to guitar and explore more of the theory behind it through books and hands-on instruction.  Taught by Alex Wersen.
