General Questions

Q1. Are the members of the instructional and playalong groups mixed ages?
A1. Yes. There may be some exceptions to this. For instance, when a group is sponsored and held in a retirement facility or school.

Q2. Where are the Woolwich group sessions held?
A2. Until other arrangements are made, sessions will be held in Conestogo at the home of Rick and Judy Hendershot.

Q3. Can non-members sit in on sessions (for example, a parent of a young child)?
A3. If a parent wants to sit in on a session we recommend that the parent become a member associated with the child (who is a paying member).

Q4. Are all groups only for beginners (for example, members of the Guitar Beginners Group)?
A4. Beginners groups are for beginners. More experienced players can take part in the PlayAlong Group.

Q5. Can players of instruments other than guitar and ukulele join a PlayAlong Group?
A5. Generally speaking other instruments are allowed as long as they fit in and do not require the instructor to provide an undue amount of attention (like, for instance, having to provide horn player(s) with transposed sheet music.

Q6. Are members expected to provide their own instruments?
A6. Yes. The Woolwich Club may have instruments that can be borrowed on a short term basis (for one or two sessions), but it is expected that the member will purchase or rent an instrument fairly soon after joining.

Q7. Will there be instructional groups for more experienced players?
A7. More advanced groups will be added as the need arises. Generally speaking our preference is to accommodate more experienced players in PlayAlong Groups and, eventually, in specific Ensembles or Bands.

Q8. Will members have the opportunity to play in group or individual performances in public settings?
A8. We hope to arrange occasional performances in community locations such as retirement facilities, sponsor meetings, the mall or market, etc.
