YEAH, this is last-minute, but, hey. If you can't YEAH, this is last-minute, but, hey. If you can't get it this time, let me know that you're interested and I'll schedule another after Thanksgiving. This 3-week workshop will teach and refresh your Christmas carol collection. Approach December caroling opportunities with confidence, and organize your own! At the end, you'll have a collection of chord sheets and a lyric book to distribute to your friends, family, and loved ones. This will be a repertoire-booster, so participants should know the shapes of most open position chords on their instrument. Participants will have the option of receiving personalized help to set up a setlist app on their digital devices to store and organize chord sheets. We'll also discuss how to choose a key that suits the voices in your "choir." A capo is helpful, but not necessary. I will give feedback for each student as we navigate these topics. Curiosity and questions are highly encouraged! We'll be learning online using Zoom, so students will need a device that can get online (laptop, tablet) and an internet connection of at least 5 Mbps (up and down). Phones are OK, but some of the material may appear quite small! This workshop will be offered Fridays November 4, 11, and 18, 4-5pm Eastern. Let me know if you are interested but need alternate scheduling!
