This 16-week Non-Audition Ensemble Performance Course is designed for young* Musicians interested in performing blues, rock, jazz and funk to enjoy weekly vocal and instrumental ensemble music making in a fun, challenging, non-competitive atmosphere culminating in a public performance at a top New Orleans music venue. We play both by ear and from notation, so basic music theory is integrated into the rehearsals. Included are vocal music, hand percussion, mallet percussion, and basic music theory, and we have a piano, bass and guitar amps and microphones available on site. Horn players who have studied for a year or more are welcome to bring their horns as well. The weekly rehearsals will build technical facility and augment musicianship while emphasizing creativity, improvisation and collaboration. Roots & Wings is still recruiting young musicians with at least one year experience, please call 504-942-7606 to register!
