Club members suggest music for the club to tackle. All musical styles are welcomed, and the club’s playlist consists of pop, rock, country, blues and folk music. Members learn from each other and give support in interpreting and performing songs. Vocalists are encouraged even if they do not play an instrument. Hand percussionists are also welcome. The Club offers a relaxed way to learn new music with the encouragement of fellow musicians.
