Music of the Sea


ID : 1793   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic This course is those folks who like to sing music of the sea. We'll sing work songs, ballads, forebitters, and play some music that may have been heard on a 19th century sailing vessel. Students are invited to bring along instruments and ideas for songs. The instructor will provide some opportunities working a block-and-tackle and other simple machines that would have been found on a sailing vessel.
