Come and join our Folk Music Sunday Sessions where you can learn

how to play and sing folk tunes and songs by ear.

No music reading necessary! All ability levels are welcome.

Just bring your instrument and voice and we will create a fun Folk

Ensemble which will develop your musicianship and listening skills.

Young Folk Sunday Sessions are designed as a monthly series running

from November to May, culminating in a performance at
