Youth String Band
(Audition or invite only). Not for strings only, youth string band is an ensemble that plays traditional dance tunes and folk songs. And, we do some composing in the style as well. Open to a wide variety of acoustic and folk instruments. All tunes and techniques are taught in class by ear and supplemented with written, audio, and video materials by dropbox. Digital attendance is available for this class.
Sundays 10:00am
Youth Rock Band
In SC Lessons rock band class students not only learn how to play covers of fun rock songs… they also write new songs as a band. And, at the end of the session, when they have their material rehearsed they record those songs using professional recording equipment & software. Every student gets a high quality recording of their music that can be shared freely with friends & family! Rock band class is capped with a smaller number of participants than most ensembles and a limit on the number of players on each instrument. Open to guitar, bass, drums, keys, ukulele, vocals, horns.
Mondays 5:00pm
String Band
Play as a big fun social group, learn new tunes and techniques. Get jam ready on fiddle, banjo, mando, guitar, or bass. In the analog we make a big sound.

And, we learn the ways our instruments communicate in a group setting. In person as well as a digital options available.
