Sign Up for Passing the Pick & Bow Music Classes
Our after-school Appalachian music program, Passing the Pick and Bow, puts banjos, fiddles, guitars and mandolins in the hands of nearly 100 students and community members each year. The Pick and Bow program is part of our broader mission to foster pride and connection to Appalachian arts and culture. Click here for more information about the program.
Pick and Bow is often the only music education that our local children and teens get. After lessons from traditional master musicians for eight weeks, it’s students’ turn to perform at the end of the session.
Sign up here to join Appalshop’s Passing the Pick and Bow Traditional Music Education Program. Open online enrollment for our 8-week Spring Session I is open now. Sessions will begin February 7th with the final concert happening April 1st at Appalshop.
The in-person classes will take place at three locations – Appalshop, Hemphill Community Center, and Cowan Creek Community Center. Classes meet once a week for 1 hour (schedules subject to change based on needs.)
Classes are open to all with a sliding fee scale. Scholarships are also available. If you have any questions, contact [email protected].
