Course Overview

Have you ever sang in the shower? Or blasted your playlist to belt along with your favourtie tunes? Or maybe you’re just a poor boy who thinks nobody loves you? Then you’ve just gotta get out, just gotta get out of your house and join us! Learn to sing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen – with a choir!

Led by Trinity Piette, musician extraordinaire and rock goddess of the band Close Enough, this choir Will Rock You.

It can be hard to perform alone, but with a choir, you have a powerful presence – of Mercurian force! Combine that with the soaring and heart wrenching classic, Bohemian Rhapsody, and you’re in for an amazing time! And when then the course is done, we’ll be ready to “Pop-Up” at a local event, flash mob style!

Bring a friend, bring your Dad, tell your neighbours – the more the merrier! Any way the wind blows, be sure to check out this course for an experience you will never forget.

Course Overview

Learn to strum, sing, and play real songs like you’d hear around the campfire — even if you’ve never picked up a guitar before!
This six-week course focuses on simple chords, steady rhythm, and the joy of playing music together.
No pressure, no theory drills — just fun, supportive learning through songs everyone knows and loves.

I’m Bruce Enloe, your host and guide – a songwriter and professional performer for over 40 years – I firmly believe from all of my years of experience that if your goal is to perform fun, singalong-style songs (what we often call ‘Campfire’ songs) on an acoustic guitar, the absolute best way to succeed is to play with others as much and as often as possible. That is how this course is designed – less talk… and more play!

  • Acoustic guitar
  • Tuner (clip-on or app)
  • Pick (medium gauge recommended)
  • Binder or folder with sheet protectors for song sheets
  • Capo

 Course Outcomes

  • Know 8-10 open chords
  • Strum confidently and keep rhythm
  • Play and sing multiple full songs
  • Feel ready to learn (and teach yourself) more
