WORKSHOP Frequently Asked Questions:
Are there any costs to the workshops?
No. All workshops are free!
Do you need to register ahead of time?
No registration is necessary. Just show up with your instrument.
What level of skill are the workshops?
The "beginner" workshops are just that; for beginners who have just picked up an instrument - for those with little or no knowledge. "Master" workshops are for those that have a moderate level of ability or better on their instrument. The Singing workshops are for everyone as are workshops without a "beginner" or "master" label.
What age level are workshops for?
All ages are welcome. Younger musicians encouraged!
How long do the workshops last?
Workshops are scheduled for 60-90 minutes but length depends on the instructor. Some may last only an hour, sometimes they run over when the jamming starts.
What are the singing workshops about?
The focus on our singing workshops is usually harmony singing - how to harmonize with other singers and the types of harmonies used.
Where is my workshop on the festival grounds!!!
We'll do our best to get specific workshop location information in the program book. To be sure check with the Information Booth located at the Main Gate. Workshops are scattered about the grounds under the tents. Signage will be up to indicate what workshop is going on under each tent.
