Western Swing Dance Band Thursdays 7:30-9:00
@ The Abbey in Cumberland
Group Class (Limited spots, instrumentation specific)
Open to Bass, Guitar, Fiddle, Voice, Accordion, Ukulele, Banjo, Clarinet, Trumpet (other instruments considered on a case to case basis)
In this high energy and fast paced class we will build a repertoire of tunes from the heyday of Western Swing. Focusing on tight vocal harmonies, interesting instrumental parts, and quirky arrangements this upbeat band will be a hoot and a holler. At the end of the 2nd term we’ll show off our skills by hosting a dance for our friends and family. Each participant will get a chance to lead a tune (either solo or with a partner or trio) and will provide a great venue for polishing your performance skills. The focus of the classes will be on building musicality, arranging and creating the best group sounds we can.
Term 1 $100
Sept 19 – Oct 17
Term 2 $100
Oct 31 – Nov 28
(Nov 29th Dance) Location TBA
Due to the nature of this music only a certain number of each instrument will be accepted to ensure a balanced sound. Registrations will be on a first come first serve basis.
