Community 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:

bullet

To expand on a basic understanding of how to sing a song.

bullet

To teach the student to listen for harmonies and the right place to enter and exit the song.

bullet

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
