As we begin the school year, we want to take the opportunity to make sure you’re aware of our latest happenings and plans.
New group classes.
We’re adding new group classes. Every second and fourth Tuesday and Thursday of the month we start an hour class at 8pm. Tuesday we meet to share songs and stories with acoustic guitars, Thursday’s electric blues, rock and standards!
Quartets
The second classical guitar quartet has begun practicing. They started off with a bang and both quartets will be giving a performance on Saturday, December 4th, kicking off the Christmas season. Mark your calendar, there will be limited seating.
Children’s Classical Guitar Quartets are extremely rare in the U.S.A. and we hope to expand on this concept in the future as it’s profoundly powerful for developing musicianship. The challenge lies in providing scores that are level appropriate and in making all the hard work into fun. If you’d like more information about guitar quartets please don’t hesitate to contact J. Shelby.
Tone Deaf Sing Class
Can you clear a room with your singing? Do dogs and coyotes join when you sing?
The Tone Deaf Singing Class begins this month on Friday, August 27 at 7:30pm. This one hour class runs nine weeks and is oriented toward those individuals who’d like to sing but think they can’t. There’s no such thing as tone deafness and we’ll prove it. The class will give participants an overview of the twelve tone system used in our culture and how it developed. Call J. at 707 344 0724 for more information.
