New Class starts THURSDAY JAN 12th 2023

 in the Zoom-0-Sphere, via Passim School of Music. Blues Ensemble Study Group Experience ThAng™…………..Six weeks in a row, Jan 12, 19, 26 Feb. 2, 9, 16. we'll look at works by Memphis Minnie, Jaybird Coleman, Willie McTell and many others……..we will continue our study of all things Blue, and prepare ourselves for some sweet day when we are able to gather in person and share songs and laughter (as Robert Plant once famously said ‘does anybody remember laughter’?)  We will cover basic blues progressions, chords, rhythms, scales and more in a way that is both educational and fun. We will listen to and learn from some of the men and women who invented this uniquely American form of folk music, many of whom played right down stairs at the historic Club 47. In this version of the Blues Ensemble experience, we will dive deeper in to specific artists. For example, we might spend 2 or 3 classes on Muddy Waters, studying his songs and recordings, his influences, and those he influenced. As we are limited in our ability to play ‘together’ all at the same, we will do our best with the present moment as it’s presented to us to share music and be inspired.  All instruments are welcome…….no expereience necessary to enjoy the class.  Hope you can make it.......more info here https://www.passim.org/school-of-music/classes-workshops/online-blues-ensemble-study-group/

hope you can make it!

6:30-7:45pm ET on Thursdays, Jan 13, 20, 27, Feb 3, 10, 17

We will meet six times, 75 minutes each, and explore the art and form of "the Blues"......we'll take a deep dive in to one or more artists, and learn a tune a week or more. We will play songs 'together', in a virtual way, as much as it is possible to do so...........usually this will be one of us leading a tune and others following along whilst muted. We'll listen to different artists doing the same song, and explore similarities and differences......almost probably guaranteed that you will a. have fun b. learn 'something', or heaven forbid: both. hope to see you
