GUEST Artist

Cheryl Grice

Cheryl will be talking about phrasing and musicality, working on how to take your musical expression to a whole new level. Just playing the notes, is not playing music, just as ‘just saying the words’ doesn’t necessarily mean you are saying anything. Playing music is like reciting a poem, ‘don’t just mouth the words’ –  ‘say something!’ Please bring your guitars and a pencil and rubber.
