About the instructor: Lori Mast has been playing, performing and singing music all her life. She was homegrown right here in Chattanooga. She credits her love for music and any talent she has to a higher purpose and to her Dad and extended family. Growing up in a rich, varied musical environment enabled her to go on to become a singer/songwriter and play multiple instruments. She has been playing and singing in various Chattanooga bands since the early 90's, playing locally and on the road. These groups played many genres including Bluegrass, Gospel, Celtic, Country, R&B, Blues, Rock and Roll, and Classical. There was always something new to try! Currently, she has started her own band “Lori Mast and High Gravity” which also includes her husband and musical partner of 26 plus years, Pete Mast. All of her experience playing music and learning from other great musicians has led her into a very rewarding teaching career, teaching musical instruments and vocal lessons to adults and children for several years. There is nothing she likes better than sharing the gift of music with others. For details about our refund and class cancellation policy, visit our FAQs: www.thechattery.org/faqs.
