For those in the early stages of their studies, Lori’s workshop is ideal. Participants in her class are always amazed at the progress they make. There is provision for absolute beginners, as well as those who have studied only for a short time, or who feel they want to review the basics. Bring your enthusiasm and your harp and leave inspired with a few tunes, some technical and compositional skills and a week of fun “under your belt.”
