Play with Vernon and Kitty McIntyre class
Now that the weather is a bit warmer, I have been inspired to organize another Bluegrass Band class at the Oxford Community Arts Center. My neurons don’t seem to work when it’s below freezing!
The class is called Play with Vernon and Kitty McIntyre. My husband, Vernon, and I will be team teaching this class. He has been playing professionally since the early 1960s and, over the years, has played with most of the seminal bluegrass artists. He knows his bluegrass music!
Class will be on five consecutive Tuesdays starting April 30 and ending May 28. Each meeting is from 7:00pm til 8:30 and will be held in the ballroom of the Oxford Community Arts Center at 10 S. College Ave. in Oxford, OH 45056 (by the way, it’s a beautiful facility!). Cost is $150 for the 5 week class. Minimum class size is 8; maximum is 20. Minimum age is 18. You can register online at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4196692
The goals of the class include the following:
- Develop at least 10 performance ready tunes selected from the following list
Old Home Town
I Wonder Where You Are
Salty Dog
It Takes One to Know One
Some Old Day
Blue Ridge Cabin Home
Foggy Mountain Breakdown
Old Joe Clark
Tennessee Waltz
Sitting on Top of the World
Careless Love
Bury Me Beneath the Willow
Kentucky Waltz
Dark Hollow
- Each instrument learn it’s unique job throughout the tune
Kick off’s
Back up a singer
Back up an instrument
Play lead part
Endings
- Gain experience playing waltz timing
- Gain experience playing faster
- Gain facility at hearing chord structures & melodies
We will provide recordings of each tune in the appropriate key
Each student will try to work how to play the melody (it doesn’t have to be a fancy)
Each student will try to work out the chord sequence for each tune
We will review melody and chord structure in class
We will also suggest what each instrument should do when not playing the melody
So, if you’ve ever wanted to play in a bluegrass band or jam but haven’t been sure how to do so, make plans to Play with Vernon and Kitty McIntyre!
