EEFC Online Workshops

In keeping with the virtual demands of our modern times, EEFC is excited to sponsor a changing selection of live online class series, taught by our beloved workshop teachers, as well as one-off special events and movie screenings. All classes and events are held on Zoom and require one-time pre-registration. Zoom meeting information will be provided to registrants before each class (see FAQs below).

Unless otherwise noted, each 4-week course costs $60. We also offer a low-income tuition option as well as a Pay-It-Forward option in case you have the means to throw in a little extra to keep our online programs thriving. See each series’ registration form for details.

Turkish Clarinet with Tano Brock

This workshop will focus on Turkish clarinet repertoire, ornamentation, style, and makam. We will dive deep into several songs, exploring the intricacies of tone and ornamentation, and how a simple melody can be transformed with embellishment and variation. We will pay close attention to the makams of each song, and how to accurately produce the microtonal pitches on the clarinet. We will explore how each melody navigates its makam, and how to incorporate those patterns into your improvisations. Both Bb and G clarinets are welcome in this course.

Wednesdays, October 7, 14, 21, and 28, 2026 — 5:00 p.m. Pacific, 6:00 Mountain, 7:00 Central, 8:00 Eastern.

Register here at least 2 hours before class time. We offer a sliding-scale set of fees. See the registration form for full info.

Twentieth-Century Greek Rural & Urban Music & Dance: A Series of Cultural Explorations with Joe Kaloyanides Graziosi

Though Joe is primarily known as an expert on Greek traditional dance, he first entered the world of Greek dance through his love of Greek folk and urban music. It would be hard to divorce the world of dance from the surrounding world of accompanying sound: music, movement, and lyrics are an integral trinity not just among Greeks but almost universally throughout the world. The four presentations in this fascinating series all focus primarily on music and song. Each week will be centered around a different theme.

Mondays, October 12, 19, 26, and November 2, 2026 — 5:00 p.m. Pacific, 6:00 Mountain, 7:00 Central, 8:00 Eastern.

Register here at least 2 hours before class time. We offer a sliding-scale set of fees. See the registration form for full info.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

When will I receive the Zoom link?
To maintain cybersecurity, a new Zoom meeting number and password will be sent each week at least two hours before each class starts. Please begin to sign into the meeting no earlier than 15 minutes before our start time. A moderator will be available to assist you. If there is a sound/lighting check with the teacher in progress, please wait until we’re finished to unmute and begin your greetings!

How long are the classes?
Generally each class runs 75 minutes. Other events, such as lectures or movie screenings, may have different durations.

Will music and video be provided?
Each teacher has the option to make source materials available on password-protected pages. Password access to class materials pages will be provided in your registration confirmation and in the emails sent out at least two hours before each class. Password-protected links to streaming videos of each completed class will be provided to students separately via email.

What if I have to miss a class, or can only attend offline because of my schedule or time zone?
No problem! Links to streaming videos will be provided to registered students the day after each live class. All video links will be active for six months after the last class in the series.

I signed up for a course and went to the first class, but it just isn’t what I expected, and I don’t wish to complete the course. Can I get a refund for the remaining classes?
We aim to please! Contact the EEFC office and we’ll work it out.

I registered, and class is about to start, and I still haven’t gotten my Zoom link! Help!
Alas, sometimes our information emails end up in spam or junk folders. Please check there first, and if you still can’t find the email, contact the office and we’ll get you sorted out!
