Guitar Ensemble: Christmas in July

Though it might be tough taking a sleigh ride in the middle of summer, festive bells will be jingling, ring tingle tingling in (Mark Martson’s) Guitar Ensemble: Christmas in July on the 3rd, 10th, 24th, and 31st at 3:00 pm. Each meeting meets for an hour and the tuition is $100. Students will work on ensemble skills using arrangements of familiar music and by working on these pieces now, will be already polished and ready to perform holiday classics later in the year. I’m really looking forward to this group getting a head start!

This CYM Course will be meeting in person, but students are welcome to join via Zoom if they feel more comfortable. Any guitar student with some experience reading music can join, and bring whatever type instrument they like to play most – classical, steel string acoustic, and/or electric guitar. Students will build from their existing music reading and ensemble skills. I will work to improve student use of visual cues, dynamics, color changes, treatment of repeated sections, and more. Students need their guitar, footrest, and a music stand. For a yuletide good time in the sun, register for Guitar Ensemble: Christmas in July, and don’t forget to read about me, Mark Marston, purchase a music stand and footstool, or rent a guitar.
