Saturday Lessons Program = Kentucky BlueGrass AllStarsThe Saturday Lessons concept is simple: we are growing the Biggest Bluegrass Band on Earth!

All residents of this region are warmly welcome to join us as we continue to build the BIGGEST BLUEGRASS BAND ON EARTH!

The group’s performance at ROMP. (Note: you are not required to perform at ROMP to take lessons, but only those who perform at ROMP will receive ROMP passes & the Kentucky BlueGrass AllStars’ t-shirt.) ROMP PASSES: Each Kentucky BlueGrass AllStar who performs at ROMP will receive a special AllStars wristband good for free admission to all three days of the festival. This wristband is for AllStars only, and they must wear it regardless of their age. They will also receive ONE 3-DAY GUEST PASS which they can give to a family member or friend who brings them to the festival. Additional family members and friends need to pay the usual admission price to the festival.
*Scholarships available. Call 926-7891 for an application. ABOUT THE PROGRAM We offer modestly priced group music lessons taught by professional bluegrass music instructors, and free instruments on loan to anyone in the area who would like to take lessons. The performance band formed by this large group of people taking lessons is ambitiously dubbed the Kentucky BlueGrass AllStars. Students ranging in age from 6 to 80 choose from learning how to play the banjo, fiddle, guitar or mandolin. More than music lessons, more than free loaner instruments, the program is a rich package, providing quality instruments and hands-on lessons, photocopied instructional materials (as needed), a Kentucky Bluegrass AllStars T-shirt, and two 4-day passes to ROMP (River of Music Party) if you perform with the Kentucky Bluegrass Allstars, live, at ROMP. Group lessons are every other Saturday beginning in the Fall at the museum, and ending at ROMP. See the form below for details. The total package cost is $30 for the Fall Semester and $60 for the Spring Semester; this price is cut in half for each additional immediate family member. Full scholarships are available. To reserve your seat, come to the museum, register, and be fitted for your instrument. Registration for the Fall Semester is throughout the month of September; for the Spring Semester, it is throughout the month of January. Call Brenda Smith at the museum for any other information: (270) 926-7891 or 1 (888) MY BANJO.
