Whether you learn by ear or notation, bring your instruments and voice to participate in focused music workshops all day long, or kick back and join a like-minded pick-up group and jam. Both daily classes and special one-time sessions are planned.

See the draft Schedule Grid (PDF); subject to change, of course.
