THE FESTIVAL OF THE BLUEGRASS OFFERS AN ANNUAL TEACHERS WORKSHOP AT THE
HORSE PARK NEAR GEORGETOWN, KY. THIS YEAR IT WILL BE THURSDAY, JUNE 12TH.
IT’S A ONE DAY WORKSHOP WITH AN AGENDA TO BE ANNOUNCED AS PLANS ARE MADE.
THERE IS USUALLY A BLUEGRASS BAND TO ENTERTAIN YOU. THERE IS USUALLY A HANDS-ON ACTIVITY WITH MUSIC INSTRUMENTS, VERY CASUAL.
YOU WILL SEE CHILDREN WHO ATTEND THE KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS MUSIC CAMP PLAYING THEIR THREE NEW SONGS. YES, THEY LEARN THREE SONGS IN THREE DAYS. THESE CHILDREN ARE AGES 8 TO 18. THE MUSIC CAMP HAS PROGRESSED IN A WAY THAT THE CHILDREN WHO ATTENDED IN THE BEGINNING ARE NOW DIRECTORS OF THE MUSIC CAMP, WITH GUIDANCE FROM ADULTS IN CHARGE.
THE CAMP IS ACTUALLY JUST THAT. THE KIDS CAMP AT THE FESTIVAL AREA, GO TO THEIR OWN WORKSHOPS, GIVEN BY SEASONED MUSICIANS WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME TO TEACH FIDDLE, MANDOLIN, GUITAR, BANJO, AND UPRIGHT BASS. THE THEME FOR THE CAMP THIS YEAR IS “WILD, WILD WEST“. WE PLAN ON HAVING A LOT OF FUN.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A MUSIC TEACHER TO ATTEND. ALL ELEMENTARY TEACHERS ARE WELCOMED. THE WORKSHOP IS FREE.
IF YOU DECIDE TO ATTEND THE WORKSHOP YOU WILL RECEIVE A PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATE AND A WEEK-END PASS TO THE FESTIVAL OF THE BLUEGRASS, A VALUE OF $80.00. WE HAVE COFFEE AND DONUTS FOR YOU AT REGISTRATION TIME WHICH IS 8:45 A.M. LUNCH IS ON YOUR OWN.
