MINI MUSIC LESSONS

It's time to dust off those banjos, tune those guitars, and pull those ukuleles out from under the bed! Each week, the Jones House will be releasing new mini music tutorials with some playing tips for various folk and old-time instruments. Local musicians and instructors will help you learn some of the basics that you can practice from home. Now is a great time to pick up a new hobby, keep your brain engaged, and learn a valuable skill!
