Do you like to sing? Have you always wanted to learn harmony singing? Join us for a fun weekend of singing instruction that uses shape notation to make singing easy and rewarding for beginners and experienced musicians alike! No singing experience necessary!

The Hintons will teach a traditional singing school and show a screening of their documentary Awake My Soul: The Story of the Sacred Harp. The weekend will also include an afternoon of full-on participatory group singing and an evening performance by revered Americana musicians Tim Eriksen, PhD and Peter Irvine.
