The Desert Bluegrass Association, partnering with the 17th Street Music store, offers a series of workshops (we call them clinics) led by talented professional musicians with proven teaching success.

Hands-on sessions are offered on the third Saturday of each month on each bluegrass instrument (banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, bass, dobro).  Sessions on singing bluegrass harmonies, song writing, care of instruments and setup, jam techniques and etiquette, music theory, and sessions with multiple instruments also are offered.

Participants get to know local musicians and where they are performing, as well as receiving valuable instruction.  Many follow up with individual lessons.

The sessions are free to attendees.
