ABOUT THE PROGRAM
We offer modestly priced group music lessons taught by professional bluegrass music instructors, and free instruments on loan to anyone in the area who would like to take lessons. The performance band formed by this large group of people taking lessons is ambitiously dubbed the Kentucky BlueGrass AllStars.
Students ranging in age from 6 to 80 and up choose from learning how to play the banjo, fiddle, guitar or mandolin. More than music lessons, more than free loaner instruments, the program is a rich package, providing quality instruments and hands-on lessons, photocopied instructional materials (as needed), a Kentucky Bluegrass AllStars T-shirt, and passes to their performance day at ROMP (River of Music Party) if you perform with the Kentucky Bluegrass Allstars at the festival.
Group lessons are every other Saturday beginning in the Fall at the museum, and ending at ROMP. See the form below for details. The total package cost is $35 for the Fall Semester and $65 for the Spring Semester. Scholarships are available.
To reserve your seat, come to the museum, register, and be fitted for your instrument. Registration for the Fall Semester is throughout the month of September; for the Spring Semester, it is throughout the month of January. Call Carly Smith at the museum for any other information: (270) 926-7891 or 1 (888) MY BANJO.
