Experiment: instrument instruction

As I said yesterday, we're going to try to get a little bit more out of our weekly classes. I'm going to try to use the 20 minutes before the pagode to do dedicated instrument classes, starting next week 10 June at 6.40pm with a tamborim class.

To make this work, I'll need people attending to be there by 6.30pm to help unloading the instruments.

If this works well, I'll publish a schedule each month with the instrument classes for that month, so that you know when to come in early.

I realise this time is not suitable for everyone, however I think it's the only option at the moment. As I said, this is an experiment, so if not enough people can make it, or if it is just going to be too much for me (soft, I know), we may have to change this. But the idea is that I give people opportunity to really start working on the more difficult instruments, and that way we can lift the level of the samba school.

Comments welcome!

Can we start with the tutorial first and unload the gears afterward ? That way, people who are LATE can help unload the gear as well.

Brian, that's a bit like "can we eat first, then prepare dinner?"

Good point though, it appears it's always the same people helping out with unloading / loading.
