Now in its second year, this broad reaching program welcomes singers, banjo pickers, fiddlers, guitarists, and mandolinists-- players interested in many facets of roots music. Along with private and group instruction, students learn to craft vocal and instrumental music arrangements of their own. The program probes blues, bluegrass, Cajun and Creole, old-time mountain ballad and song styles, honky-tonk fiddling, and works by newer singer-songwriters and instrumentalists who draw their inspiration from traditional music. Events include a live dance with caller, a banjo seminar, a student and faculty sing-around, and a workshop on Rio Grande fiddle tunes from Native American and Spanish colonial traditions.
This program is for students ages 18 and older (students under 18 welcome with adult chaperone). For more information, or to apply online, visit www.rockyridge.org
