Two master classes for strings students (one for beginngers; one for advanced students) with the Alaska String Band will take place from 10 to 11 a.m., Monday, Feb. 15, in the Bluffton Middle School band room. The classes are sponsored by the Bluffton Music Boosters

The classes are on Presidents' Day. There is no school that day, so students interested in attending must sign up to participate.

The Alaska String Band is a concert group comprised of members of a single family performing with guitar, twin violin-fiddles, bass, mandolin, ukulele, percussion and vocals.

Paul Zahasky and his wife, Melissa, have been making music together in Juneau, throughout Alaska, and internationally for the past 27 years. They began informally instructing each of their children at an early age and are delighted to find that their passion for music is shared by the children; they are Laura, 19, Quinn, 16 and Abigail, 13.

Space is limited.
