Class
Chestnut Street Baptist Church
The LaClaires teach "Performing
and Singing Bluegrass"
Bring your
voice, and a guitar, banjo, or any bluegrass instrument. You should
have a working knowledge of music and some experience singing;
however, you DO NOT have to be an experienced performer. This class
will focus on voice, so you don't even have to bring an instrument.
We will focus on hearing and feeling the vocals in the song.
The goals of the class are:
 |
To expand
on a basic understanding of how to sing a song. |
 |
To teach
the student to listen for harmonies and the right place to enter
and exit the song. |
 |
To teach
basic performing techniques for lead singer and band members as
they also learn to arrange harmonies. |
The last half
hour of class will offer all a chance to participate in arranging,
singing, and playing bluegrass tunes. Students can feel free to
record the class for future practice.
2
hours, for adults and teens
