The workshops are all held in the store, usually on a Sunday so we can spend all day Learnin' and Jammin'. The Artist is always one of the top in their field, and with a limit of twelve people the classes are very intimate so you can get all of your questions answered. If it is a musical workshop, everyone is invited to bring their instruments (bagpipes and MIDI cowbells excluded without advanced permission) and for the technical workshops please bring a notebook, a writing utensil and the latest revision of your brain.

Most of the performers will let you bring a tape recorder, some even allow a video camera but please ask first (see copyright workshop). And REMEMBER to pre-register so you won't be left out in the field watching all the other kids having fun in class.

Some of the people who come for workshops will do private lessons as well, and we do offer private lessons in most instruments as well here at the store.

Potential upcoming workshops include: Send an e-mail to let us know which workshop you are interested in. We will contact you when enough inquiries are received!
