Have you always wanted to play guitar, but for whatever reason, never really tried? Maybe now is the time to give it a shot! You might be surprised how much you can learn in a week’s time, dedicating a few hours a day to learning this versatile instrument! And, like riding a bicycle, once you learn, you will never forget and, thus can look forward to years of enjoyment spending time with your new six-stringed friend! Take advantage of this opportunity to hang out with Bob Frey for a week and learn the foundations of guitar – tuning, chords, strum patterns, finger picking patterns, etc. ***Students should bring their own guitar. If you do not have a guitar, Perpich may be able to provide one.
Instructor: Bob Frey
Bob Frey is a Perpich teacher and a Twin Cities musician who has been playing guitar for around 35 years. He has released several albums of all-original songs and performs regularly around the Cities.

Cabaret is becoming more and more popular within the performing world. But what is cabaret? Cabaret, in its simplest form, can be described as personal story told through song. In this class, students will develop a short cabaret set based on their personal stories and songs which they already have learned. (Information about songs will be sent after registration.) During this class, students will explore their songs and stories in depth through individual work and through individual coaching in a both a private and a master class setting. The class will culminate with a final performance at the end of the week.
