8:45-Noon, 1-2:45 PM  “FIND YOUR VOICE”
Aine Minogue
A 3-step program:

1. Find your type of music  (what is your passion?)
2. Locate the source of that music
3. Make it your own: create your own accompaniment and arrangement

This session will include:
Arranging for Irish Harp, Left hand accompaniment, Singing accompaniment, Playing with other instruments, 
From the page to the practical; release from the tyranny of sheet music
Learn to arrange tunes in your own way; learn to take music from the source and deliver it in your own voice
If you register early, you can tell us what you would like to get from this Irish session and Aine will try to address your particular requests.
Friday will be a 5 hour session with the last 1/2-1 hour being a master class.

9-11 AM                                      Aine Minogue
“HARP FOR HEALING; HARP FOR GRIEF”
There is a body of music in Irish tradition dedicated to dealing with grief and loss…the “Celtic Blues”.  Like the blues, this music was not intended to make you sad, but, inevitably in life you will be sad and this is the companion music for those times.

8:15–11:15 AM SCOTTISH TECHNIQUES
Heather Yule
Again, if you register early enough, you can let us know what facets of Scottish music you would like Heather to address and she will tailor her teaching to your needs/requests.

Optional Class$100
