Expand your knowledge and repertoire of the tradition, explore ideas of phrasing and lift, and gain an understanding of the elements of style that can be applied to singer and musician alike. Come experience both sides of this tradition-the songs and tunes-in a workshop aimed at both singers and instrumentalists.
