Promoting LOCAL musicians and Live music. Supported in part by Clark County Arts Commission. Not all links are open to non registered students. 

We are elevating the music classes by raising prerequisites and expectations, making them more challenging yet enriching and rewarding, while supporting the growth of all students. Instructor Approval will now be required to participate in Advanced Workshops.

Introductory Jam – Rusty or wanting to get back to basics on jam session techniques. Jan. 14th and 16th Two night session. 

Emerging Workshop – People who don’t have a lot of stage experience or are new to their instruments and want to collaborate with others as they learn or are “rusty” and want to brush up.  Focus is on basics of chords, theory, tone, and ear training.
 
Advanced Workshop – for more experienced musicians who know how to find alternate chord voicings, can read charts well or can pick up music by ear accurately, and who understand and can apply more advanced theory such as intervals. The Advanced Workshop will also begin to really focus on “band” versus “individual,” helping you to learn how to fit in with other players better and find your own part in the spectrum of sound. This is for people who have participated in the Emerging Workshop or have demonstrated that level of proficiency to the instructors. Instructor approval needed to participate.

We are working on a full year schedule for the Magenta Theater 2025. I have 3 Showcases approved so far.

Columbian Article – The Martin Street Blues Roots Duo – David Benedicktus (Harp/Vocals) and Clancy Kelly (Guitar/ Vocals ) We love supporting musicians like this!

Jam Session™  classes are taught in Vancouver,WA for the emerging or experienced player who wants to get more in touch with improvisation, networking and ease of Jam Sessions Open Mic situations.

They are set up for aspiring musicians emerging or intermediate ability level, that want an outlet to raise their comfort level with performing in public (suggested instruments: Guitar, Bass, Key’s, Vocal, Drums, Harmonica, horns, violin).
