Carl and I have had fun galavanting this summer at 7 music camps!. Fall is coming and our Online Zoom Music classes start up again this September! You are invited to join our musical group. Carl is teaching Mandolin and the Art of Back-Up Guitar. I’ll be leading two levels of Old-Time fiddle. We’ll learn some of our favorite old-time tunes and songs, master techniques (bowing, picking, chords and more from respected traditional players) plus have fun getting that old-time sound and groove! Carl and I teach a tune a week (in our 1hr class) for 6 weeks (suggested donation 80 – 125 (you choose). We provide practice audio for learning by ear plus fiddle sheet music and banjo, mandolin, guitar TAB. Participants can ask questions in real time, All classes are recorded and videos provided so you can catch up if you miss a class. Tell a friend so you can learn the same tunes or songs together. Then you’ll have friends to play them with. There’s a fun, chatty vibe in these classes and several friends have been joining us in them for years. Feel free to join the merry band if you’d like to 🙂
