| July 12-18 | Catskills Irish Arts Week | Karen will teach a half day class for Irish dulcimer and also in the children's program at the Catskills Irish Arts Week. A good turnout is important if there is to be a dulcimer program there. The program allows time to take a half day of whistle (cheap and easy), concertina or accordion (more expensive, harder), dancing and more! Realistically if you want to play in Irish sessions you need a back-up instrument for when there isn't room or your instrument isn't in tune. This camp allows you to do both! | East Durham, NY | Michael J. Quill Irish Cultural & Sports Center or call 518-634-2286. |
