Ours is a week-long, small, inexpensive and family oriented music workshop focused on traditional string instruments, begun in 2005. Week-long classes are $85 with early registration, which will be available by March 1 or before. There is a country family dance on Thursday nights for which the workshop participants provide the music.

Classes are held in the elementary wing of the Wallowa School, from 9 am till 3:15 pm Monday through Friday, learning tunes chosen by the instructor. There is plenty of time for practice and jam sessions. On Friday afternoons, classes perform for each other.

After classes there will be optional short workshops taught by volunteers.
