Play with Style: Intermediate 🔥
This is where things start to sound real .
You can play the chords. You can get through songs. But now it's time to make people actually feel something when you play. This session is all about adding personality, control, and musicality so your playing stands out-in the best way. 🎸
We'll move past just “getting through songs” and into playing with intention-where every intro, fill, and ending has purpose.
You'll:
🎵 Learn kick-offs that grab attention from the very first note
🪕 Add clean, confident endings that actually finish a song
🎶 Use fills and transitions to connect chords smoothly
🎤 Explore dynamics-when to hold back and when to lean in
👥 Build a more expressive, performance-ready sound
Songs we'll be working on:
This is where your playing starts to have identity. By the end, you won't just play songs-you'll own them. 😏
📅 Dates: Saturdays - May 9, 16 (canceled), 23, 30, June 6, 13 & 20
🕔 Time: 7:00 - 8:00 PM
🏠 Location: Highland Park Community Centre (3716 2 St NW, Calgary, AB T2K 0Y4)
💵 Fee: $20 per session
👨🏫 Instructor: Bob Dunn
Bob is a musician who has been playing guitar since 1977 when his grandma gave him his first guitar. Since then he's continued learning technique, theory, teaching, and performance. He's performed across Canada, the USA, Taiwan, and Malaysia, and is a graduate of the Douglas College Music Program (Classical Guitar focus). These days, you might catch him performing around town as Busker Bob-or helping new players get their start right here.
