such as the Avett Brothers and Chris Thiele. Designed to expose instrumentalists and vocalists to the roots of American music, this camp will teach students melodies, song forms, performance techniques, and improvisation based on genres such as traditional,
old-timey, Pre-War blues, Appalachian folk, bluegrass, gospel, and many more. <o:p>
