Steve Vai Shares His Thoughts About Vai Academy 6.0 Below

 

 
Whether a master player, beginner, or anywhere in between — or just an enthusiastic fan, Vai Academy 6.0 offers a packed schedule of insightful and fun experiences, workshops and once-in-a-lifetime performances.  The environment is non-competitive and is strictly about immersing those who attend in the joy of music and picturesque surroundings.

Steve Vai elaborates on the “Finding Your Note” theme for Vai Academy 6.0 sharing, “Anybody that expresses themself on an instrument has a choice of learning what they hear and trying to reproduce it, or listening deeply to their unique musical creativity voice … their ‘note.’  At Vai Academy 6.0, we will be looking into both of these kinds of expressions, but giving great emphasis on ‘finding your note.'”

Steve Vai and Dreamcatcher Events respectfully ask all participants to be fully vaccinated or tested for COVID before attending.
