Tune Class - String Arranging w/ Sam Golden
String arranging takes songs to the next level! It can add a melodic counterpoint, a deeper groove, an emotional peak. Sam will introduce you to this world of creative possibilities by discussing techniques for building layers, harmonizing melodies, and other tools every aspiring arranger can use. Bring your instrument, as the class will serve as a lab for trying out our string arrangements live!

Location: St. Louis String Collective; 3530 Greenwood Blvd
Registration closes Friday, March 7th
We will be filming each class and the videos will be made available to participants at the end of the session.
