Hi Friends:
We are having a great week at Flatpik Central South. I am setting up my Spring Online Group Lessons which begin in April. They will be the last Six-Week Sessions until Fall.
The next big event for us is, yup, Kamp Time!
Registrations are coming in everyday.
Here's a Kamp Klass update:
Old Time Singing only has a few slots left.
Bluegrass Rhythm Guitar only has a few slots left.
Swing Guitar Rhythm only has a few slots left.
All other classes have plenty of seats but you might want to get those registrations in soon.
The 2023 Kamp Scholarship Program is wrapped for the year. The judges are going over the entries now and we should know the recipients in a day or two. Nine folks will be awarded a full ride to Kamp. This will not include guardian fees. Congratulations to these deserving pickers.
Week Two Private Rooms are down to just a few remaining.

All classes are still available.
What runs tight is the housing. We currently have plenty of beds for double occupancy. There are just a handful of private rooms.
Couples that register will room together.
If you requested to room with a friend or relative and they have not registered as of yet, they need to in the next few weeks. Can you check on them and give them a bump? We are holding their housing.
Since housing is on a first come basis, it is better to get those deposits in soon.
Kamp Registrations Full Speed Ahead!

Steve Kaufman’s Acoustic Kamps offers acoustic music students of all levels an opportunity for real immersion and growth in an extremely friendly, supportive and uplifting environment where people can play music, sing, jam and share valuable musical knowledge.
Choose one instrument of study from a variety of specialized weekly classes. Bring other instruments if you have them for the jams.
Enjoy four daily instructor hosted jams, evening Open Mic, and Kamp Koncerts.
Then after the evening activities, the student jams begin.
You’ll come away with new repertoire and invaluable techniques, a reinvigorated sense of direction and purpose, and a greater confidence and joy in making music on your instrument!
