2020-21 Academic Catalog

Through scholarship and music-making, we’ll explore the historical bases of musical style, the role of recorded music, the social construction of a “folk music” milieu, and the music of Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Odetta, et al. No musical experience necessary; you need not read musical notation. Section 1 (beginning folk guitar–instruments provided) only for those with no guitar experience; Section 2 (folk workshop –provide your own instruments) if you have any experience on guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, ukelele, Dobro, viola, cello, or bass.
