In this Mineral Arts class, you will learn the basics of playing and singing for bluegrass. All acoustic instruments are encouraged to register (Guitar, Bass, Banjo, Fiddle, Dobro, and mandolin). Discover the structure of a bluegrass song by playing the music from kick-offs to endings. We look at what to play behind verses, choruses, and solo breaks in bluegrass songs. We encourage students to work on singing and solos while the teacher leads songs at first. As students gain confidence with their parts, the teachers hand the reins over, and students are invited to share their solos and rhythm and lead songs in class. Play-along tracks and charts are all provided. This is a great way for folk music lovers to network and meet others in an ensemble setting.
