Classes revolve around a group or artist (e.g., Beatles, Dylan) or genre (swing jazz, 70's funk). Over the course of 4 or 8 weeks, the group will work on one or two songs per week, working on the following elements:

Ear training, song structure, understanding genres and related theory
-
Left hand techniques, chord fingering, and fluidity in chord changes
