Workshops

We have over 80 workshops and classes from 27 presenters and our goal is to help you Narrow Your Focus or Expand Your Horizon.

Workshop Space: We're using all of the Morris rooms and Johnes. See the floorplan/ layout.

Workshop Times: Most of the workshops are 90 minutes. We have 3 main workshop periods on Friday and Saturday: 9:30-11am, 1:30-3pm and 3:30-5pm. (On Sunday the morning workshop starts at 9am.) There are mini-workshops scheduled in the 11am-1pm lunch break when we do things like the Harp Tastings and Do It Yourself Harp Maintenance.

How you get into a workshop: Except for theThursday workshops which require advance sign-up on the registration form, you can drop into any of the other workshops. We estimate how much space we need for each presenter and workshop and most of the time it all works out and there are seats and enough room for everybody. In consideration of others, please try to get to your workshop a few minutes early to give yourself time to get a seat and get settled.

HOW TO FIND WHAT YOU WANT: Peruse the navigation bar on the left to see how all this information is organized. Workshops are listed in alphabetical order by Title with their presenter and description. If you are looking for workshops by a particular presenter, choose Performers & Presenters on the top row navigation bar and look up the presenter. Their workshops will be listed under their bio.

Other tools: Under the Daily Schedule (on the left) we have a variety of downloadable tools to help you put your Somerset itinerary together. You can download an Excel file and then sort and sift this file any way you like: by day/time, by presenter, by workshop title. You choose. The PDF file is a static snapshot of our spreadsheet file that you can print, read, highlight offline. These files will be updated almost weekly as we hone in on the actual schedule and finetune the workshop selections.

Focus Areas: We aggregate some of the workshops into some topic-specific Focus Area pages. If you wanted to Narrow Your Focus on certain topics, we'll make it easy for you to find all the workshops related to Celtic, Historic, Paraguayan, Teaching and Business, plus many others. You'll find the Focus Areas on the left navigation bar under this Workshops tab. If you have Excel, the spreadsheet version of the workshop schedule will have columns for these topics so you can sort and filter by topic.

 

Workshop Guidelines

Thursday Special Workshops! Reaching out to Teachers & Professionals

TEACHER'S SYMPOSIUM
Check out the agenda for this all-day workshop. Thinking about teaching harp?
Do you need some fresh ideas?
Come & Learn what you need to know & do
.

We know that it's not always possible if you're a teacher or a professional harpist to devote an entire weekend to a festival such as ours. So for the second consecutive year we have the Lever Harp Teacher's Symposium and a business seminar called Creative Marketing Strategies. Think of this as career enhancement! We're making it easy for you to take the day off. If you're coming for just the one day, use the single-day option on the registration form.

Getting Private Lessons

Many of our attendees would like to get in some private lesson time with their favorite presenters while they are at the festival. The cost is $65/hour and is paid directly to the artist at the time of the lesson. Lesson time/availability is strictly at the discretion of the artist. Put in a request by emailing Kathy with the name of the presenter and she will forward all requests.
