It's true! We're back!
Can't wait to see you all again this Saturday! We're really excited to get things rolling again this year, and wanted to let you know what things will look like this year.
Taborgass classes will be switching to a monthly basis, meeting 12 to 4pm at Waverly UCC on the third Saturday of each month.
We're working on how best to fill the gaps between classes - maybe some jams, zoom classes, or other workshops? Let us know what you'd like to see!

About
Song Class
This class is all about how to learn and jam on bluegrass songs. We'll be walking you through some bluegrass classics, working on their chord progressions, melodies, and lyrics. The focus will be on giving you new songs to call at a jam.
Tune Class
This class is all about fiddle tunes! We'll be learning some jam favorites from the bluegrass and old time repertoire, focusing on getting the melodies in our heads and the notes in our fingers.
Jam Class
A whole class just for jamming! Here we'll be working on all the ins and outs of playing music with other people. We'll work on calling songs, taking breaks, listening in, and communicating with your fellow jammers. Bring a song or tune to call!
Open Jam
Back by popular demand! We'll have a room set aside for folks interested in just getting together to play. To coordinate jam times with other Taborgrassers, head on over to our facebook group.
