The goal of this class is the promotion of an interest in the Japanese language through a general exposure to language and culture. This class will cover finger picking ans strumming techniques, barre chords, repertoire songs and improvisation. Participants should have taken the beginning guitar class or know basic chords. Students study the blues, learn to play songs, accompany others and achieve a good tone. Participants should have already taken the beginning harmonica class or be able to get a clear sound and play individual notes.
Students learn to bend notes, improve tone, build a repertoire and play solos.
Participants shoot and develop their own prints as well as enlarge their negatives for final print. Students provide their own camera, film and paper. This course acquaints novice nature-lovers with plants and animals that characterize the Holly Spring National Forest. Using such tools as sweep nets, dipnets, seines, binoculars and field guides, students learn about the insects, amphibians, fish, reptiles, birds and plants that are encountered. Location will be announced upon registration.
