Hey Friends - Happy New Year! Hope you've had a good holiday season. Want to keep having fun this New Year? One way to do that is to join Carl and my Online Winter Music Classes (Zoom) to help inspire/ revitalize your music making. Improve your playing in a friendly group class that's super affordable and learn some great trad tunes. Here's the info!

Each group class meets online for 1hr a week for 6 weeks on Zoom.
You get: 6 live online classes including: 6 videos of each class Fiddle music or Guitar/Mandolin TAB Suggested guitar chords Practice audio for play along Field recordings and historical info on traditional musicians Bowing markings/practice or guitar / mandolin technique exercises Fun making music with others with no winter commute
Videos of all classes will be recorded and archived so you can miss a class and watch later if you'd like to. Some people in far-flung time zones like to take the class entirely by video. Attend when you want or opt for the class video when you’re busy. Cost for entire 6-week class is $80-$125 (sliding scale: pay what you can). Special: Canadian/Australian dollar taken on par with US. For each tune we will delve down the old-time music rabbit hole to learn from master traditional players. There is also a fun, community vibe in these group classes. That’s Carl and my favorite part!
To register just tell us what class you'd like to join by emailing info@dittyville.com and make your payment via paypal, venmo, or check. paypal.me/dittyvillewww.venmo.com/dittyville If you have any questions feel free to drop us a line. Happy New Year – play more old-time music!
