2010 Old-Time Week Week 5 August 8-15, 2010 Tuition: $440 (includes Festival) Housing & Meals Old-Time Week 2010 gathers outstanding performers and teachers from the Southern Appalachians, the Ozarks, and beyond.  Our Guest Master Artist will be the legendary Franklin "Frank" George.   Students take morning classes with their primary instructor, and choose from an array of elective workshops and demonstrations, including Vocal Week and Dance Week classes, each afternoon. New in 2010 is a daily afternoon Stringband for Adults workshop. Evenings are filled with lively jam sessions, slow jams, song swaps, dances every night, and concerts (Tuesday and Thursday evenings). Friday features a student showcase and an old-time porch party. Old-Time Week runs concurrently with Vocal Week and Dance Week, and extends through the Augusta Festival, August 13-15. All classes are intended for those who can already play their instrument to some extent and are ready to start learning old-time style, technique, and repertoire. To register specify “Old-Time Week,” your instrument, and your level.   Classes and Staff   Coordinator - Joe Newberry  Guest Master Artist -  Franklin "Frank" George  What level should I take?
