Singing Bluegrass Duets, with special guest Molly Tuttle: A follow-up to last summer's class , Jack and Molly will help singers develop their bluegrass voices, with emphasis on duet singing. We'll discuss the elements of the old-school bluegrass vocal sound as we work on a variety of duets. You'll learn methods for improving pitch, tone and phrasing. Students will have a chance to sing a duet in class each week, with critiquing by Jack and Molly. Bring your instrument too.
Tuesdays 7 to 8pm. Nine Weeks, $160

Bluegrass Jam Class (level 3) This class is for the bluegrass player (guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass, fiddle, dobro) who wants more experience playing with other people.

Class prerequisite: student must be able to play chords at a steady, moderate tempo and be able to work up solos without help.

Bluegrass Jam Class – Songs of Bill Monroe (level 3) In this new class, we'll work up some songs from Bill's repertoire and try to develop a deeper understanding of his sound. As in Jack's regular Jam Class, we'll play from a set repertoire, but each class will end with a couple of Monroe songs NOT in the class repertoire as we work on playing new songs, getting quick to the chords and melody, as well as improving improvising skills.
