This class is for players who would like to build and reinforce skills for participation and enjoyment in playing with others. Listening and playing are two sides of the same process, and we'll explore some tools that can help us hear and respond when we are making music together. These tools include concepts and exercises for picking up tunes on the fly as well as for creating beautiful phrasing and “lift” in common tunes. We'll explore these by playing, listening, and enjoying music together in a comfortable, supportive environment. Special guest musicians from around the city may pop in as well!
