Ailie Robertson has agreed to come and teach from 2nd August to
4th August 2018.

This course takes place at Ionad Na Seann Sgoil, Shawbost on the
westside of the beautiful Isle of Lewis. The atmosphere is very
relaxed and friendly, and the courses have been designed so that
they are enjoyable and fulfilling for beginners and more advanced
players alike. The mid afternoon finish for teaching sessions allows
plenty of time to relax and explore the island.
Ailie’s teaching is aurally based so notational reading skills are
not essential, - although written music will be provided for you to
go home with. The music studied has been chosen carefully so as to
be as inclusive as possible.
Early booking is recommended as the course will be popular and
numbers are limited to 14 participants. A small number of hire harps
(at a small cost) will be available but must be booked in advance.
The course starts on the Thursday morning and Sessions begin at
10am each morning and finish about 3pm in the afternoon, with
breaks for hot or cold drinks - and extremely yummy homemade bakes
to go with them - with a tasty lunch in the middle of the day to
sustain the brain for the afternoon session.
The cost of the course is £175, which includes all tuition, all
snacks and lunches. Locally produced food, which is therefore
organic in nature, will be used wherever possible and vegetarians
and special diets are catered for with prior notice.
A Deposit of £50 is payable at time of booking either by Cheque,
Cash or PayPal (please email carole@harp2ewe.net for details)
