Join us in McNally Robinson's Community Classroom this September for a month of musical enlightenment with Winnipeg's own JP Hoe!
The talented will be sharing his knowledge of the musical arts with a series of exciting new classes. The classes will be presented on Tuesday evenings all through September, and will teach the secrets of songwriting and musicianship.
Songwriting 101
How many times have you said to yourself, "If Nickelback can write a song, why can't I?" Great question. The truth is anyone can write a song, but it takes effort and guts. Songs don't just suddenly appear; they are crafted and sculpted. In this class we will dissect songwriting techniques, tricks and pitfalls...ideally, the 101 course that wasn't offered in school. We will work as a group exploring different songwriting genres of music (pop, rock, country, roots and folk) and develop a foundation you as an aspiring songwriter can build on. You don't have to be a great singer or professional musician to participate in this course, you just need the motivation and courage to create something new. Please note: You must bring your own instrument to class. Class is meant for individuals or songwriting pairs.

Playing the Acoustic Guitar
The basic skills to pursue a new, rewarding pastime, playing the acoustic guitar will be taught in this four week course for self-motivated individuals (young adults and up). This is not a course on how to become a rock star, or how to shred sweet licks, nor the proper technique on how to smash said instrument. As a group we will learn the basics and allow you to hone those skills at home; hopefully enabling you the ability to play any song you want. Let's shed that guilt of hiding a dusty guitar case in the basement and get you strumming. Please note you need to own or have access to an acoustic guitar (steel string or nylon strings) for classes and for practicing at home.

Playing the Ukulele
This four week program is aimed at giving self-motivated individuals (young adults and up), the basic skills to pursue the Ukulele, the little instrument that could. An instrument that is catching on in popularity thanks to its simple appeal and beautiful tone, the ukulele can play any song from any genre and is incredibly fun to learn. As a group we will hone the basic skills needed to get you started on your musical journey. A skill to last a lifetime, let's start with the basics. Please note: You must own or have access to a ukulele. No toy ukuleles please.
