Oh Susanna & and a Sweet home filled with random things that hum out of tune.

Well Folks,

that was an awesome start to the term. I hope to see you all this week and we can continue building arrangements for our tunes.

Interesting Fact of the week: If you are having a hard time tuning or hitting a note, stop and listen. Your home may be pulling you out of tune. This week I discovered that both my Dryer & the bathroom fans in my house hum somewhere between Bb and B when they are running. Which is why after 10 tries I still couldn't sing Oh Susanna in tune. I was pulling my hair out, I thought I was going crazy. I spent hours going over it again and again trying to figure it out. Turns out it wasn't all my fault, it was just second hand music.

    def: A group of people who want to do more than just jam on folk instruments. We’ll set up a groove and add easy parts, taught by ear and layered, to make epic sounds out of simple pieces. Immerse yourself in the world of harmonies, melodies, laughter and ensemble playing regardless of skill level.
