• Instrumental workshops: players need to have their own instrument, and be able to play at least to a basic standard. Instrumentalists are asked to tell us on the enrolment form their approximate level of experience. Ability to read music is not required, nor is experience of folk music; most of the workshops will be taught by ear.
• Song Workshops: open to everyone from beginners to experienced participants. No experience of folk singing is needed. • Dance workshops: last year there were two clog dance classes; intermediate and advanced. For more details, see https://trac.wales/our-work/taking-part/gwerin-gwallgo |
