Here’s my vision: free or $1 bi-weekly class with an hour dedicated to music lessons and an hour dedicated to a recorded community jam session. The goal being closer community ties and music appreciation!
The $1 would go to provide insurance or help cover the cost of the instruments or materials used. The sessions would be recorded, and we could sell the CDs for $5 a pop in various places around town. The cd revenue would go to fund music programs in Fort Collins area schools.
What we need:
Instruments (Music schools? Pawn shops?)
Teachers (Again, Music schools or seasoned pros?)
Participants
People willing to record the music (I can do this pretty easily)
Let me know if you’re interested in helping to make this idea happen – I won’t be able to do it on my own, but I’m willing to help as much as I can!
Just think of all the awesome possibilities… like getting to dress like Gogol Bordello!
