IMPORTANT UPDATE:
In Guitar & Contemporary Folk Week, just 2 classes still have openings!
These classes are: “An Impromptu Glorious Chorus (TM)” and “Singing For Fun For Everyone.” Otherwise, the length of waitlists varies. We’re excited that this week is almost SOLD OUT! If you still wish to register for GT or CF week, you may delay paying the deposit (but submit the registration form) and reach out by email or text to ask about your placement on a waitlist. If there is no waitlist option for a class, then the waitlist for that class is full. We ARE still accepting applications for our Work Exchange Volunteer Program, but spots are limited.
