with Ron Gordon

Improve your ability to apply the elements of music to everyday listening and playing : music appreciation, jamming, learning a song, composition. We’ll learn to think musically and play using the ideas of form, rhythm, melody and harmony. Our particular focus will be using traditional forms most fretted players will encounter : reels, breakdowns, waltzes, jigs, blues, songs, etc. Bring your fretted instrument and we’ll practice and apply these concepts at each class. Ability to read music not needed for this class, although helpful.

Class Dates: Tuesdays, Oct. 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, & Nov. 5
