This year we are celebrating our 11th Gordon Stobbe Camp! Shivering Strings Music Camp officially begins with a Welcome! reception on Friday evening. Instructors are introduced and we have an informal jam session. There will be cake and a cash bar. All campers, as well as immediate family, are welcome for this event.
1) will have no music in advance; you must be able to learn music by ear in the class Saturday and Sunday mornings begin with musical warmups, then classes. Each group of fiddlers will have three fiddle classes each day. Participants registered for the Accompaniment class - Guitar/mandolin/etc. - will spend class times with Skip Holmes. New!
Note: Accompaniment and Keyboarding classes are dependent on sufficient enrolment. There will also be a combined class of ALL campers in the afternoon to go over parts for the orchestra piece and a group rehearsal of tunes taught during the day. Saturday evening there will be an Instructors' Concert and Dance. This event is open to camp participants (no charge), family and friends ($20 adults and $5 children). Sunday afternoon ends with a final session where all of the music for camp is played. All participants will play the simpler tunes and all players can play parts of the more complex tunes.
