About
Students will learn to play the high, lonesome sound of old time music from the Appalachian mountains and thereabouts. This genre includes dance tunes, songs, and ballads of British and West African influence. The ensemble will also make forays into more recent genres such as bluegrass, country, and folk music.
Requirements
This ensemble requires beginner ability on one of the typical string band instruments, such as fiddle, banjo, mandolin, acoustic bass, acoustic guitar, and voice. Autoharp, dulcimer, dobro, ukulele, bones, quills, and other instruments may sometimes be used as well.
