Sunday Easy Swing started a few years ago as a weekly informal workshop and jam session. All instruments and levels get the chance to learn and jam in a relaxed setting.
The idea was simple: to teach/analyze/learn and jam on classic swing repertoire starting with the jazz/blues and then into songs of the Great American Songbook (Gershwin, Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, etc).
Artichoke Community Music
Every Tuesday from Apr 26 through May 31, led by Steve Cheseborough, $50 for six classes. ONLINE CLASS VIA ZOOM.
The wonderful standard "Corrine, Corrina," written by bluesman Bo Carter in 1928 and later covered by many other artists in various genres, is a great antidote to worrying about Corona! We‘ll try to get everyone playing and singing it. The instructor will teach the guitar part (simple, easy to sing along with) and the harmonica part (challenging but fun) and a bunch of verses. If you want to join us on another instrument, come on in! Unfortunately Zoom doesn‘t really allow for ensemble playing but we‘ll try see how it goes. (harmonica or guitar, and singing, possible other instruments) And after the restrictions are released we‘ll have to try getting together to jam on it in person! Contact instructor Steve Cheseborough, chezztone@gmail.com, with any questions.

Ever wonder what makes a bluegrass jam sound organized and deliberate, like a band, even when it‘s just a casual jam? The essence of bluegrass is informality, but there is something inherently magical about how the players organize, differentiating it from being a twang-heavy song circle.
We cover kick-offs, turnarounds, soloing, and the general principles of leading a song within a group of friends or strangers.
Of course, we always end up learning new material in a session, but the focus is more on what to do with the song once we‘ve learned it, sharpening our ability to play it within a group of other bluegrass musicians, in a way that is compatible with other folks‘ skill sets.
Bring your instrument and an open-mind, and leave with the tools to be a bluegrass champ.

Every Tuesday from Apr 26 through May 31, led by Steve Cheseborough, $50 for six classes. ONLINE CLASS VIA ZOOM.
The wonderful standard "Corrine, Corrina," written by bluesman Bo Carter in 1928 and later covered by many other artists in various genres, is a great antidote to worrying about Corona! We‘ll try to get everyone playing and singing it. The instructor will teach the guitar part (simple, easy to sing along with) and the harmonica part (challenging but fun) and a bunch of verses. If you want to join us on another instrument, come on in! Unfortunately Zoom doesn‘t really allow for ensemble playing but we‘ll try see how it goes. (harmonica or guitar, and singing, possible other instruments) And after the restrictions are released we‘ll have to try getting together to jam on it in person! Contact instructor Steve Cheseborough, chezztone@gmail.com, with any questions.
Every other Sunday, from Apr 19 through May 31, led by Tracy Kim, $120 for four workshops. ONLINE WORKSHOP VIA ZOOM. Tracy will send a link to access the workshop once you are registered.
For this bi-weekly 80-minute workshop on Bossa Nova, Tracy will choose one song each session. He will teach the chords, the rhythm patterns, the melody, a chord melody arrangement and simple soloing ideas.
Every Sunday, hosted by Patrick Connell and Kaden Hurst, $15 drop-in.
Ever wonder what makes a bluegrass jam sound organized and deliberate, like a band, even when it‘s just a casual jam? The essence of bluegrass is informality, but there is something inherently magical about how the players organize, differentiating it from being a twang-heavy song circle.
We cover kick-offs, turnarounds, soloing, and the general principles of leading a song within a group of friends or strangers.
Of course, we always end up learning new material in a session, but the focus is more on what to do with the song once we‘ve learned it, sharpening our ability to play it within a group of other bluegrass musicians, in a way that is compatible with other folks‘ skill sets.
Bring your instrument and an open-mind, and leave with the tools to be a bluegrass champ.
Every other Sunday from Apr 19 through May 31, led by Tracy Kim, $120 for four workshops. Welcome to the lovely world of solo jazz guitar! In this 4 week course, Tracy takes 4 different songs ranging from jazz standards and teaches the many various approaches to creating simple and beautiful solo jazz guitar arrangements.
ONLINE WORKSHOP VIA ZOOM. Tracy will send a link to access the workshop once you are registered.
