Each participant will receive a copy of our  “Bach Family Album Tunes for Two” book, arranged for the instrument of their choice. 

Just as in all of the collections in the Tunes for Two series these books contain the same tunes in the same keys making it easy for you to play with a friend playing another instrument.

During the Workshop, we will read, play, and discuss various survival skills for these kinds of pieces.  A treble clef version of the sheet music for the tunes being played will be displayed on the screen during the workshop. 

There is limited enrollment, and pre-registration is required.  The fee for each “Bach Family Album for Two Workshop” is $25.00.
