Guitar Month Events
Check out what's happening at your local Heid Music, RSVP (not required), and we'll see you there for awesome Guitar Month fun!
If you play an acoustic instrument — guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass, or even ukulele — and you're curious about bluegrass music, Bluegrass 101 is the perfect place to start!
Join instructor Debbie Wagner as she breaks down the basics of bluegrass in a fun, easy-to-follow way. You'll learn how bluegrass jams work, the simple guidelines that help musicians play together, and what it takes to confidently join in. We'll cover essential rhythms, common chord progressions, and classic songs — then put it all into practice by playing together in a relaxed, supportive setting.
Have you ever wondered what happens at a bluegrass jam? Or felt unsure about jumping in? Bluegrass 101 will give you the tools, tips, and confidence you need to start making music with others. Come ready to learn, play, and have fun!

Perfect for writers and performers of all levels, this session offers fresh tools to make your songs more dynamic, memorable, and impactful.
