FAQs
HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?
Just drop me an email at ouseburnfolkband@gmail.com to let me know what instrument you play, to ask any questions and to let me know if you're coming. You can also just show up if you like! but I can't guarantee I'll have the right sheet music/ tab music for your instrument in that case.
CAN ANYONE JOIN?
As the class is focused on learning repertoire and playing together, it does require that you know at least the basics on your instrument; how to hold it, get a sound from it, play some notes etc. The arrangements will all include something simple, something intermediate, and something challenging so it will work best if we have a range of abilities within the group.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
I operate on a tiered payment system. The sessions will work our at £8 per week at full price, or £6 for students/ low income members. If you're able to pay for the full term at once, great! That helps make it more sustainable for me to run, and allows those who can't pay upfront to still attend and pay weekly. Choose whichever option suits you, no questions asked.
