Sessions Format Has Changed

Sessions will no longer be invitation only.  Greg will provide one or two session leaders on most Saturdays at 1pm.  Qualified students can join the sessions any time.

The list of all qualifications will be on the handout table in class.  Session students are required to have completed the first two years of Taborgrass or receive the green light from Greg to participate.

Please no more than 8 students per session.  No more than 2 like instruments between the students in a session.  And please don’t hog the sessions.  Give everyone a chance to participate.  Be courteous but also be opportunistic.  Your instrument may be needed on consecutive weeks.  There should be enough spaces available for everyone to participate at least every other week.

Cost is $10.
