Some of the workshops are free. Others are being presented for a fee and are being given on a first-come-first-served basis. When a fee is involved, we have decided that those attending should pay either upon arriving or after the workshop has been given according to whatever is agreed between the instructor and the student. Checks for workshop attendance should be made out to the person presenting the workshop or his business name.
Those attending a workshop should bring a chair, blanket, or some other means of sitting unless they prefer to stand.
Upon arriving at the festival, sign up at the Northern California Flute Circle's table for any workshop you plan to attend.
Please check this webpage periodically. In any case, we plan to keep the beginning
flute workshop starting time at least 2 1/2 hours before the advanced flute playing
workshop starting time. The workshop schedule is given below.
Please look farther
down for the details regarding each workshop.
Didgeridoo Made Easy - David Blonski has 18 years of experience with the didgeridoo

David presents his beginning level didgeridoo class with enthusiasm, warmth, and humor.

easy to understand and follow format. David will focus on tonal variations, dynamic
vocal accents, animal calls, circular breathing, and contemporary styles of rhythmic playing.
The children's free workshop will start at 1:00 and end at about 1:30.

Kathi Cameron and Sherry Martin will be giving a free workshop,
especially for young
people, on Playing the Native American Flute. Kathi is a music teacher and Sherry is
a registered nurse. Both enjoy the Native American flute. Flutes in the key
of C over middle C will be given to those attending for use during the workshop.
The performance of the flutes provided exceeds that of many
high-priced Native American style flutes even though each is sized for young hands.
This workshop is designed for young people who are twelve years old or less.
However, adults are welcome to sit in on this workshop. If the number of attendees
should exceed 12,
another class may be scheduled at a later time. Each student must bring something
upon which to sit.
If the student wishes to keep his or her flute, there is a $10 fee for the flute for those twelve years old or under and a $25 (the usual discount price) fee for those over twelve. If the student already has a suitable flute, he or she may bring it. The workshop will start at 2:30. Kathi and Sherry will be at a booth between the stage and Marshall Road. You may meet them there between 2:00 and 2:15 to sign up and be conducted to the workshop area.
Kathi or Sherry will collect fees in advance for those who wish to keep their flutes. Each session of this workshop should last from 1 to 2 hours. Parents are invited, and if not present, are expected to pick up their young ladies and gentlemen at the end of each session.

Unfortunately, Jon Johnson will not be performing this year. He has completed four
CDs now which are available by ordering them from him. Two are harp alone. The other two
are Jon using other instruments. Those who have heard Jon know that his music is
of the highest quality. He plays the musical saw and recently won a contest with his saw
in the "anything goes" division of the State Fiddle Contest in Oroville. The judges gave
him 299 points out a possible 300. He was also one of the five finalists in the fiddle
contest. Jon plays other instruments, including the psaltery, the Native
American flute, the recorder, and the piano. It is a shame to lose him as a performer,
but he needs time and energy for
teaching music to students of whom he is justly proud, and for creating more of his
excellent CDs.
