Fall 2018 Old Time String Band Music Class in Lafayette
with Harry Liedstrand (fiddle), David Brown (banjo), and Cindy Liedstrand (guitar)

Sundays 4:00-5:30 pm From Oct 14 to Nov 18 2018              
With a concluding party following the last class!
                
$140 for the 6 class session.  $30 drop in.  

Classes meet at:
Lamorinda Music
81 Lafayette Circle
Lafayette, CA 94549

Harry (fiddle), Cindy (guitar), and David (banjo) will be teaching their 8th session of the String Band Class. Come learn new tunes, play with friends, and practice your instrument in a supportive environment. You don’t want to miss this session, so tune up your instrument and come join us!

We are planning to start the session with a couple of tunes from Dad Crockett (Crockett's Reel & Sally in the Garden).

Class participants will receive a Dropbox link to source recordings for all tunes.

To be successful, you should know the basics of how to play your instrument. All tunes will be taught by ear so bring a recording device. The fiddles will focus on melody and bowing techniques. Banjos will concentrate on both rhythm and melody. Guitars will focus on rhythmic back-up accompaniment with chords and bass runs. Other instruments are welcome to come join the fun.

In addition to the 6 new tunes each class will cover the following:
• A quick review of the previous week’s tune
• One new old-time tune
• Demonstrations of techniques and style on fiddle, banjo, and guitar
• Tips on how to play in sessions and blend with other musicians
• If there is time, have the chance to perform in a small string band

For information contact Harry Liedstrand at: harry.liedstrand AT gmail.com 

You are welcome to just show up, but letting us know in advance means you will get dropbox link in advance.
