There will be lots of instructional classes from beginning level to advanced level on the Mountain Dulcimer, Bowed Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, Banjo, Sacred Harp, Ukulele, Mandolin, Guitar, Autoharp, Harmonica, Cajun Fiddle and more! Local cajun and old-timey musician Steve Bing will be teaching the cajun fiddle lessons/workshops. Also, there will be a lot of music jam sessions and a Square Dance/Contra Dance with EZ walk-thru calling instructions. The Square dance/contra dance is going to be on Saturday night.
