Bluegrass Boot Camp - This class is designed for the beginner student. Each of the four instruments that are featured in the Saturday Lesson Program will be taught for one of the classes. Instruments include: Guitar, Fiddle, Banjo & Mandolin. The fifth class will cover all instruments as well as a historical lesson about bluegrass.

You will learn how to arrange the song, pick the best key for the song, play along with different instruments and singers, and perform together at a local nursing home.
