Workshop Resources Page

Our instructors have provided some advance resources for students, for our upcoming Celtic Colours workshops. Please take a look below and download the files for the workshops you plan to attend. All the files are in PDF format and can be viewed in Adobe Acrobat  (available free here https://get.adobe.com/ca/reader/ if you don't already have it).

 

You may want to print some of these sheets to bring with you, or bring your device to read in class. Music stands will be provided.

 

While students are encouraged to bring their own instruments we do plan to have a few guitars, mandos, tenor basses and keyboards available for loan during the workshops.
