Workshop Cancelled (for now!)
Sad to say, due to unforeseen circumstances, we need to cancel this workshop. We will try to reschedule with Markus for the winter session, in late January or maybe February.
If you already registered, we can either refund you money (minus PayPal’s $1.50 fee), or we can hold it and your registration until we know more. We have already sent that email out to registered participants; if you don’t see it, please reach out via the contact form. Thanks for your understanding!
About the Workshop
We are very pleased to welcome Riksspelman and World Champion Markus Svensson as our next ANA Zoom Workshop teacher! Join us on two Sundays, Oct. 18 and 25, from 10-11:30 AM Pacific / 1-2:30 PM Eastern. You can look forward to learning a few tunes from Gotland – something for everyone to take away from class! The Zoom recordings will be available to workshop participants for later study. These will be for private use only, and absolutely not to be shared on any form of public media.
