Please describe your level of experience,
and include your phone number.		 Join the Guitar Ensemble! We’ll play beautiful pieces in Brazilian, Baroque, Classical, Renaissance, Jazz and Folk styles. Tunes are arranged for 4 to 6 guitars, at Beginning to Intermediate levels.
Ensemble playing is a delightful way to make music with other people, develop your musicality, meet new playing partners and have great fun. Whatever your age or level of experience, Kay will teach you a part that you can play -- and help you learn to play better. Atmosphere is supportive, informal, encouraging and FUN! Beginners are welcome -- and admired!
We begin every meeting with warm-ups and exercises: learning scales and right hand technique, and reading rhythmic figures. After exercises, we play selections from our repertoire, striving to combine our parts in a lovely way.

When you enroll, Kay will consult with you about your level, then give you a part for each tune. We welcome Beginners! You can practice your parts at home, and be prepared to work on them in class. We hope that you won't let lack of reading experience prevent you from joining. We'll help you become a better reader and player. This class is guaranteed to improve your reading. Instructor is caring, patient, courteous, experienced and helpful.  Email Kay
