with Chris Koldewey

Let’s pick up where we left off. This is a continuation of the Beginning classes Chris had last year, but could accept folks with beginning experience.  We’ll move forward learning picking and strumming patterns, new types of chords, and how it all fits when singing or playing with other folks.  Have fun while learning the fundamentals that make guitar playing rewarding in a comfortable class environment. Bring your acoustic guitar and a guitar pick. A tuner, and notebook, are recommended. (If you don’t have access to a tuner, some will be made available)

Instructor: Chris Koldewey taught public school music for 32 years, and has been playing guitar since his early days. He has also spent many years as a performer, primarily in traditional folk music. He is interested in a wide variety of music and styles, and enjoys passing some of his experiences on to students, hoping they will get some of the joy that music has given him over the years.

with Chris Koldewey

Ever wonder just how those old sea chanteys, and songs, were used during the age of sail? Join Chris in a ‘virtual’ demonstration of the working of a 19th century square-rigged sailing vessel, and the specific songs that helped get the jobs done together and more easily. By use of a Powerpoint demonstration, and Chris’ knowledge gained after a 20-year association as Chanteyman with the demonstration squad of Mystic Seaport Museum and sailing square-riggers, participants will virtually ‘sail’ a 19th century vessel, singing as we go. In addition to the songs themselves, we’ll learn how the form, pace, and style changed depending on their specific use. We’ll learn about shipboard life aboard a square-rigger, and the maritime trades as well as some of the ‘rituals’ that included their own songs. (All levels and abilities)
