FAME: Footscray Acoustic Music Ensemble (A StreetSounds Band!) is open for new members
Join this fortnightly two hour class, led by Luke Plumb, that fills the gap between a jam session and a formal music lesson. Participants of all levels will be able to join in learning new music from around the world by ear. You will help hone your skills of playing both within a section of like instruments, and as part of a larger group. There are no prerequisites other than no amplification and a general understanding of mutual respect amongst the class. Repertoire selections will include instrumental music from Scandinavia, North, Central and Southern Americas, Western Europe, Eastern Mediterranean and Persian traditions.
Footscray Acoustic Music Ensemble is part of the CMVic StreetSounds project and is supported by Footscray Community Arts Centre.
