Workshop teaching will focus on skills and tools for developing your own choice of repertoire on the harp.  There will be a variety of pieces taught in the process of learning the skills, with the written music handed out at the end of the workshop!


The setting of the hall is pastoral, with beautiful Patricia Bay just a short saunter down the road.  I envision busy pluckers, sunshine, lunch on the beach, and then back to work!
