SUMMER BLUEGRASS MUSIC WORKSHOP
Dear friends, as you know, we prepare summer bluegrass music workshop - as usual in the second half of august, in Hustopeče,
a small town of south moravia, about 30km from Brno (you can use public transport or, travelling by car, highway direction
"Bratislava", exit "Hustopeče").
The stage will take five days full of an intensive work (about 5-6 hours in the class daily. We´ll try not only to teach
and promote the flatpicking styles, but also to enjoy the experience of playing in the band. Total beginners are not excluded!
Our teachers you can remember from the best czech, slovak and moravian bluegrass music groups - Teagrass, Fragment, Druha Trava
and Poutnici, most of them can speak english (the basic language of the lessons is of course czech, but don´t be afraid,
not only teachers, most of the students can speak english, too).
Some other activities are planned (open mike, jam sessions, little explication of basic repairing the music instruments,
audio- and video showcase of american bluegrass music news etc.). The workshop will be concluded by a big music party
(our own little music festival) for ourselves, our parents and our guests on friday night.
The price includes the cost of the stage, accomodation (rooms with 2 or 4 beds in a nice hostel in opposite of "our" school)
and food (three times daily).
Subscriptions (cancelling up) by application (or by e-mail, or phone call) before the 31st july. Payment after arrive.
We´ll start on sunday 7th august from 3 p.m. (nobody will be in the hostel before 3 - coming soon, you can visit a fantastic
swimming pool about 500m from our school) in Hustopeče, hostel "Stávek" on Komenského street (in opposite of the basic school
- if you would need, I will help you by phone). The first lessons will start from monday morning at school.
We are looking forward to you!
