Below is a list of this year’s instructors and the classes they teach. By clicking on the instrument you want, you will find class descriptions for that instrument, along with bios for each instructor, and their websites, which contain yet more information.
Recommended prerequisites are also given, though an open and positive attitude towards learning in a group setting is really the most important prerequisite for having a great time at this camp.
Level 1: Advanced beginner. By this we mean that you already know the basics of how to play your instrument (and tune it!) and can play some songs or tunes, if not up to tempo, at least not agonizingly slowly.
Level 2: Intermediate. By this we mean that you are quite comfortable with your instrument, and have at least some experience playing with other people.
Level 3: Upper intermediate. You should have at least two years of playing experience, including some experience playing with others in jam sessions or in bands.
If you’re uncertain which level is right for you, consider whether you’d rather take it slow and easy, or be more challenged, and sign up accordingly. We will allow for some adjustments as needed the first day.
