Join Sean Carney and the Sean Carney Band for CAMP Blues, a week-long ensemble experience focusing on learning about and playing the blues. The course will focus on guitar, bass and drums, exploring those instruments’ respective roles in blues music and developing participants' instrumental skills and techniques. Instructors will discuss basic theory, ear training and improvisation with respect to their instrument and practical application in the ensemble setting. Students will hear recorded examples with directed listening and will be given names of recordings to listen to in the future.

In addition, instructors will discuss other aspects of performance such as overcoming stage fright and developmental concepts such as building set lists and selecting material.

On Friday afternoon, CAMP Blues will conclude with a performance for family and friends.

Please pack a lunch and drink – we will take a half hour break each day. Instrumentation is limited to guitar, bass and drum set. Some experience with your instrument required.
