Ensemble

This class outlines the process that I use as an arranger to build exciting works that are both fun to play and exciting to listen to. We’ll cover vocal harmonies, using the ear to find lead parts and harmony parts, basic soloing skills, and strumming. A low G is highly recommended for this class. Attendees should be familiar with singing the strings or have previously taken Harmony at Your Fingertips.

"Plays Well With Others" coordinates Preparation, Practice and Performance for group players, band leaders or even solo musicians. We discuss (and demonstrate!) a logical and linked series of ideas that are integral to working with others in a musical context. Almost anyone will come away with a new idea (or several) and a better understanding of how to create a clearer, more systematic path to playing better. "We play for fun; but it’s more fun to play better."

Join us for a lively and hands-on Jug Band Workshop where we’ll explore the joy of making music with everyday objects and traditional instruments.
