Corrina Hewat

This is a fun class full of tunes and song melodies you would hear in a session, but not at the speed they would be normally played. We’ll play them slow and often, learning and adding chords where possible. We’ll learn tunes that can be put together in sets to enable you to move from one tune to the next so you don’t have to deal with the ‘what comes next?’ scenario. This class is for players who can play a bit by ear, are still slow at picking up tunes but have a basic grounding in technique. A recording device would be useful to bring along.
