Hello, fellow
mandolinists:
Welcome to the swing mandolin class at
Augusta.
We will study the structure of ten songs, and
will include some of the "jam tunes" (send an email to
wendibourne@comcast.net if
you would like to receive a list of the jam tunes when they become
available sometime in June). These songs will include swing
standards, western swing instrumentals and Latin melodies.
The songs will be in different keys and
tempos and we'll work on techniques for soloing and accompaniment
in a swing ensemble. And we'll have fun doing it! I don't have
an email address, but if you have questions about the class,
please e-mail them to Swing Week Coordinator, Wendi Bourne at
swing@augustaheritage.com and she will contact me and get
back to you. See you there!
