An Eight-Week Class with Caroline Kuhn
Saturdays from 4 pm - 5:30 pm: 9/26, 10/3, 10/10, 10/17, 10/24, 10/31, 11/7, 11/14

This class is open to singers and instrumentalists (advanced beginner and higher) who want to learn how to play in a band and gain confidence in their performances. We will discuss how to arrange music together in small and large ensembles, how to find one’s voice within a group, and strategies for becoming more comfortable on stage.

During these sessions, we will work on songs in both a large ensemble and in two smaller bands. At the end of the last class, we will host a song share with sign up open to the public, and kick off the night with the repertoire we’ve worked up as a group.

Along the way, we'll work on musicianship and ensemble skills, tackling performance nerves, and just have fun! Repertoire will be a range of songs that lend themselves to band arrangements. If you have song suggestions, please offer them!
All instruments are welcome! However, if you play a non-string instrument (piano, drums, woodwinds, etc.), please contact Caroline prior to enrollment to make sure we can accommodate your instrument at the school.

Chord-based Instrumentalists will need to be able to read and play simple chord progressions. Vocalists and melodic instrumentalists will need to be able to match pitch and learn melodies by ear.

Despite the rising costs and lower funding streams that are affecting cultural institutions, Jalopy still wants to be a home for everyone seeking to learn and develop their musical practice. Therefore, this semester, we are offering the classes based on a sliding scale, inviting each student to choose a price based on their income level. Those of you who can afford to pay more than the breakeven cost, will be making it feasible for Jalopy to give scholarships to those who cannot afford the courses.

Please note that these numbers are only suggestions, and you are free to pay what feels manageable and appropriate for you based on all your life's circumstances, not just annual income. As usual, you can inquire and apply for financial aid by emailing lynette@jalopytheatre.org.

Sliding Scale Chart based on Annual income:
$0 - $20k / year: scholarship (partial or full depending on availability)
$20k-$30k / year: $450
$30k - $40k / year: $525
$40k -$50k / year: $600
$50k -70k / year: $675
$70k and up: $750
