Activities

The week includes instrumental, vocal and band workshops small group lessons, jams sessions and a student showcase concert. Participants also have the opportunity to study styles of solo and ensemble singing, the history of bluegrass music, and music theory for pickers.

Emphasis is placed on perfecting individual skills and addressing individual musical concerns. Students desiring band experience are divided into ensemble workshops and work from models of classic bluegrass recordings. These workshops are directed by one or more instructors.

Open jam sessions at the dorm continue until the wee hours every night after the concerts.
