NashCamp Bluegrass Camps week Two

Like some tang with that twang? Adults and teens 16 and up who want to make a six-string sing while getting their bluegrass bluer and grassier will want to grab that bass case and honkytonk it over to NashCamp Bluegrass and Songwriting. Two sessions dedicated to bluegrass are open to adults and teens (with parental permission), folks who have at least a year-s experience playing the mandolin, Dobro, guitar, banjo, fiddle or bass. Pickin- and grinnin- is taught by some of Music City-s most celebrated songsters, and students will get a chance to show off their country-cool jams in concert. Melody and lyrics are central to the songwriting session -- beginners are okay in the singing courses here -- which will also include concerts. Hey, how do you get to the Opry? Practice, practice, practice (plus spend a week at NashCamp, of course). Escape to the beautiful hills of Cumberland Furnace, Tennessee, to study with the world-s finest bluegrass players. In this fun and intensive workshop, students choose an instrument for small group instruction and jamming. Afternoons bring elective classes and Band Lab, where students are coached in playing and singing for the camper concert at the Station Inn in Nashville. NashCamp-s gourmet meals are catered by the Mad Platter Restaurant of Nashville; comfortable lodging is provided at the Drouillard House, a restored Victorian-era mansion surrounded by newly constructed log cabins which sleep 3 people to each room. All classes, meals, accommodations, and nightly concerts are included.
