Join the TJ Wheeler String Band

Join TJ Wheeler in preparing a short set to be performed at this years RBC Bluesfest! The week will be led by Blues/ Jazz & overall Roots musician extraordinaire TJ Wheeler. All stringed instrument are encouraged. Students need to be at a novice to intermediate level to participate. In this context, that’s defined as having an existing playing ability, in a variety of tempos & rhythms, in most keys, knowledge of major, minor, 7th, chords, barre chords, the major scale, basic blues scales and a willingness to dig in and learn new songs, approaches to improvisation, theory, and honing basic performing chops. Everyone is encouraged to sing and if someone is mostly a vocalist (opposed to a string player) they can also participate.

Rehearsals are Monday- Friday 4-6pm, July 10-14. Ages 10-16.
