Attention talented young string players…

All string players are welcome: violin family, banjo, mandolin, guitar. Education Director Jenny Woodruff tells us that they have also had harpists and dobro players attend. The seminar runs for 6 days, with hands-on mentoring in musicianship, songwriting and small-ensemble work.
