In this repertoire class, we will explore field recordings and folkloric collections of Maryland traditional music as well as songsters, broadsides, and dance manuals published in Maryland. Drawing from a range of sources spanning 200 years, we will collate a repertoire that is approachable from contemporary Old-Time, Irish, Scottish, Bluegrass, and Black string music traditions. The music will be made accessible via performance and notation, and will reference source recordings where available. 

This class will engage participants with songs and instrumental music, and is intended for musicians who wish to practice in both areas. Listeners are welcome to enroll and enjoy this class!
