Baroque Folk Tunes Jam

  • Community Center for the Arts, Room 7 202 W Main St Urbana, IL USA (map)

Many styles of folk music today, like bluegrass, old time, cajun, and others can be traced back to the Baroque period and even earlier. In this workshop, we will explore folk and fiddle tunes of the 17th and 18th centuries including drinking songs, fiddle tunes and other folk tunes. Participants will receive a packet of sheet music of Baroque folk tunes that they can keep. Open to all instruments (including voice), participants should be able to play at an intermediate level, and read sheet music. 

Suggested donation: $5-10
