Online Workshop: Finding Melodies On Your Instrument

1:00-3:00 PM

If you play a stringed instrument (including guitar, banjo, mandolin, violin/fiddle, and ukulele) this workshop will show you how to take the music you hear in your head and find it on your fingerboard. Mastering this essential musical skill will enable you to learn new material more quickly and make you more self-sufficient. And by forging a connection between your ears, your hands, and your instrument, it’s also an important part of improvising.

For more information, or to register, go here.
