Extend your learning day or take in the magic of Augusta after work for a week with an Augusta Heritage Center mini-class.
Class description: Designed for beginner to intermediate upright bass players, this class focuses on the core skills that make a bass player solid and dependable in a bluegrass setting: tone, timing, and intonation. We’ll also dig into right- and left-hand technique and becoming more comfortable navigating the fingerboard in common bluegrass keys. Through hands-on exercises and jam-focused playing, we’ll build confidence, consistency, and groove in real-world ensemble situations.
About the instructor: After nearly 25 years of orchestral playing, Trish Imbrogno hung up her concert blacks, pulled on a pair of cowboy boots and hasn’t looked back. Her training in Bach, Beethoven and Mozart laid the perfect foundation to tackle the intricate counterpoint of bluegrass music. Trish is well versed in bluegrass, country, and American folk music and has become one of the most highly sought-after upright bassists in the Western Pennsylvania region.
Classes are held at the Augusta Heritage Center, 21 3rd St, Elkins, West Virginia 26241.
