A musicians weekend focussing on traditional music, beautiful melodies, groovy tunes and breath-taking dances from Germany.
There will be spotlights on various instrumental aspects such as working on second voices, harmonies and danceable accompaniments, playing together as an ensemble and of course some dancing!
What ever instrument or level of playing you are currently at you are welcome, though you need to be comfortable and confident with your instrument to enjoy this weekend workshop the most.
