The Bluegrass Boot Camp
Held in just prior to the Summergrass San Diego Bluegrass Festival, this fun-filled 3 hour event is an instrument class for adult intermediate to advanced players. It’s a chance to learn from skilled, professional instructors in a casual atmosphere.
Classes are offered for the main instruments of bluegrass and can vary depending on the instructors available.
Small class = Lots of access
We cap the class size at 10 participants per instrument. Classes are open to ages 17 and up.
How do you know your skill level?
Intermediate: Able to play rhythm parts in a jam at moderate tempo and keep tempo during chord changes. Typically if you have been playing consistently for 18 months or more, you probably fit in at this level.
Advanced: You are comfortable playing with others and able to play at faster rhythms and playing breaks.
NOTE: This camp is not geared toward a beginning player.
