Youth Music Traditions: first rehearsal

Register today for CPYMT, an exciting bi-weekly gathering where kids learn to play traditional music (Americana, Irish, Blues, Jazz, Bluegrass and beyond) by ear in a group setting. In between our gatherings, kids have access to video and audio of all CPYMT songs to continue their learning. Gatherings and performances are guided by Eric Maring (“Mr. M”) and Ian Riggs and assisted by Nora Strauss-Riggs. Gatherings will take place at the Old Parish House in College Park, outdoor as is possible, inside or on zoom if needed. We generally meet alternate Mondays.

First gathering is Monday, September 13, 2021 from 6:15-7:30pm. Arrive to tune and warm-up 6:15-6:30. Music begins at 6:30. Fall session is 10 weeks with tentative date for final performance on Jan. 19, 2022. Musicians (age 6-17) should be taking lessons and proficient on their instrument to participate. We have had fiddles, guitars, bass, piano, mando, sax, ukes and more! An audition may be requested by the facilitators. Fee: $175. Checks payable to CPAE due at first class. Questions?
