There are amazing musicians who play mostly for tips- and I'm tired of seeing their work go unappreciated. I know that there is an audience who loves all kinds of roots based music- and would welcome the opportunity to be part of a community that connects with artists on a personal level. This group is such an opportunity.

You have to be able to sing the music before you can truly hear it and play it. Sight singing is the art of singing from notated music using Solfege (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, etc.) It is the ultimate ear training. It provides musicians with the keys to a rich musical vocabulary . It is a great way to learn sight reading. It is a great way to study rhythm. Beginners or veterans are welcome. Let's sight sing together!
