*Learning music is not a race

We each learn at our own pace

Register for what feels best

Cuz music keeps the learning fresh!*

Dear Friends,

Over the past 25 years, we’ve been able to teach classes free of charge. Due to funding cuts to Arts and Education at the federal, state, and local levels, this summer we are requesting a modest fee to make our work possible. PLEASE READ MORE HERE

Please understand - this is a step we had hoped never to take, but like others around us, we are in survival mode. We love you and we don't want to lose you. So we made a very simple scholarship application available for those who are in need of support: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Smr26PDScholarship. This is a community and we help each other.

**FINGERPICKING FOR UKE AND GUITAR**

**Course Prerequisite: Continuing Beginner Uke or Guitar or Above**

Want to make your playing more delicate, more textured, even more rhythmic? Learning to fingerpick is a wonderful tool for creating beautiful accompaniment and instrumental music on your guitar. You will learn how to play at least 2 foundational fingerpicking patterns for fingerstyle arrangements of songs in bluegrass, country, folk, gospel and blues styles. We’ll cover the basics in arpeggio and Travis picking patterns. You’ll get easy-to-understand tablature and notation for the arrangements. Songs will be derived from both traditional and contemporary sources.

This course will be taught from 5-6 pm PT / 6-7 pm MT / 7-8 pm CT / 8-9 pm ET.
