BLUEGRASS SLOW PITCH JAM FAVOURITES with SUE MALCOLM
For acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, bass, dobro and ukulele. All levels welcome. You should be able to play basic chords or melody. Learn by ear through lots of singing and playing. A great way to practice your instrument, work on soloing, sing lead and harmony, learn about jam etiquette and meet jamming buddies. This class will include vocal technique and bluegrass harmony singing while playing your instrument. Learn how to find your vocal range and become confident singing and playing together. We will have a couple of visiting singers/instrumentalists during the course, plus there will be a performance at the ANZA Club to wind up. Slow Pitch Jam digital songbook and play-along tracks are included. You can sign up online after August 14 here.

WORKSHOP with SUE MALCOLM and ANDY SMITH (PBOMS Sound Man)
Andy & Sue lead a Performance and Sound Workshop at the ANZA Club, 8th & Ontario in Vancouver, presented by the Pacific Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Society. A chance to improve your on-stage skills and learn about performing with a sound system. This will be a 'master class' format, where two groups perform and get tips from Andy and Sue. Admission is $20 general or $15 for PBOMS members and includes jamming afterward.
NOTE: We're looking for two groups to help demonstrate the concepts discussed - one duo or trio, and one 4 or 5 piece group. All acoustic instruments. Interested groups please email Sue at: suemalcolm48@gmail.com. Please include your instrumentation and a brief statement about why you'd like to participate. This is not a performance and your playing skills will not be critiqued. Deadline for applications is September 30th.
Anytime! Sue is also available for private guitar lessons. Please contact her at: suemalcolm48@gmail.com.
