THIS IS AN IN-PERSON CLASS

The Passim Bluegrass Ensemble is a five-week group class that offers a relaxed space to learn new music and gain experience playing with other musicians. This class will focus on bluegrass and bluegrass-adjacent styles of music, studying the elements of melody, harmony, and groove that create the ear-catching sounds we know and love. We will discuss the different roles that instruments in the ensemble can play, and how those roles interact with one another. In addition to learning new music, class members will work on essential jamming techniques such as leading a tune and learning songs on the fly.

Class members should have basic knowledge of chords and be comfortable learning music by ear or with sheet music. All musicians—instrumentalists and vocalists—are welcome!
