DAVENPORT, 9/22/16 - Sign up for River Music Experience's annual Winter Blues program are now open. The program features vocal and instrumental workshops for musicians from 8-18 years old.
Winter Blues consists of five half-day sessions from December 26 through the 30th, and are held on site at RME from 1 to 5 in the afternoon. The program concludes with a special Blues Jam event in the Redstone Room on Friday, December 30th, starting at 6 p.m.
The five workshop sessions focus on sharpening one's individual skills and expression oneself through the blues roots form - by learning how to improvise, and also through the composition of original blues lyrics and music. All sessions are led by RME's own Bret Dale and Ellis Kell, along with Hal Reed of the Mississippi Valley Blues Society.
The cost is $175 per participant, with payment in full due with completed registration form no later than December 15th.
Sign up form and more information can be found at rivermusicexperience.org/
Winter Blues is a program for young musicians interested in blues composition and improvisation
