On the 1st and 3rd Friday of every month several youngsters between the ages of 8 and 17 gather at the GitterPicker String Factory to learn the art of playing traditional music as a group.  Lead by Brett and Serenity Ridgeway, each student is guided through the process of learning to play with other same-level musicians.

These gatherings are educational and are meant for new musicians.  We recommend that participants have a little bit of experience with their instrument so that they are able to perform the chord changes in time with the other musicians.

The cost for this workshop is $5 per participant and is payable at the door. 

If you wish to join us please go to our events page to sign up for the date(s) that you wish to join us.  No auditions are necessary.  We will allow anyone to join us.
