About this Event

No "Dots" - No Problem!

Oftentimes musicians are divided into two categories: those who can play by ear and those who need “dots” - music notes. Whether or not you like your dots, this workshop and jam session will be instructive and fun!

Co-led by noted violinist/violist, teacher and educator Cookie Segelstein of internationally regarded Veretski Pass Klezmer Trio, with mandolinist Mike Thompson (three time co-winner of the Berkeley Old Time Music Convention (BOTMC) String Band Contest), participants will learn tips, new tunes, and jamming protocols. Cookie and Mike will use simple, traditional Eastern and Western European melodies, as well as old-timey American pieces to guide participants to feeling comfortable in a jam session even if this is your first time jamming!

After learning the melodies, we start to apply the stylistic elements, ornaments, trills, frills and thrills. And then - everyone gets to jam!

This class is best suited for intermediate players and above and open to all acoustic instruments.
