BASIC BLUEGRASS JAMMING WORKSHOP 

  • Understanding, low-pressure, experienced teaching by Pete and Joan Wernick ("Dr. and Nurse Banjo").
  • Group and individualized instruction on backup techniques.
  • Ground rules and etiquette; play many bluegrass standards,
  • In over 50 camps, we've taught hundreds to jam. You can too!
  • You must be able to tune your instrument with an electronic tuning device, and change smoothly between G, C, D, and A.
  • Fast playing is not expected, nor is the ability to solo required.

This class is limited to 15 students. Pre-enrollment is highly recommended.

Pete Wernick   12-5 pm  Sunday, Sep 19 (1 session)   $60

BLUEGRASS JAM 

Finally, a place for beginning and intermediate bluegrassers to learn to jam, using standard tunes that everybody plays. All bluegrass instruments welcome. We'll start with slow tempos, and kick it up a notch when (if) the class wants to do so. Emphasis on ensemble playing (soloing optional).

Fred Sokolow   8-9:30 pm  Wednesdays, Sep 22-Nov 3 (6 sessions)   $150

VIOLIN ENSEMBLE 

Back by popular demand! As a violinist with some experience, you'll enjoy playing beautiful duets, trios and quartets. You'll also have opportunities to practice improvising in a fun, non-judgmental setting.
