Repertoire Workshop with Justin Heath
The goal of this class is to help students expand their repertoire while honing the skills required to play with others and be creative while doing it. Each session students will learn 1 fiddle tune and 1 song from the bluegrass repertoire. The class will go over basic lead playing and accompaniment to get started, and offer some ideas to take it a little further with embellishments, improvisation, kickoffs and endings.

Materials will be provided for guitar, banjo, fiddle and mandolin.
