Open to all stringed instruments. Playing level: should be able to play 3 chord songs in different keys. Students should have some familiarity with old time stringband and bluegrass repertoire, be willing to sing with a group and, if playing a melody instrument, be game to take simple solos.
This class will select, arrange and work-up a number of stringband songs. Each participant will take part in creating an ensemble lead by Ben Winship and Chris Coole. Expect to learn about arranging, group playing, dynamics and even making up your own tunes.
