- Aug Fest- Hands-On Workshops
Hands-On WorkshopsMBOTMA again is pleased to present a series of "hands-on" workshops, offering opportunities to learn from talented national and regional musicians. Participants will take their instruments out of their cases and learn new skills, techniques, and tunes. Each workshop has one or two instructors and 10 pre-registered participants, who will get chairs in the workshop circle. Participants may reserve a spot by signing up ahead of time at the workshop table starting at 9:45 am the day of the workshops. Workshops may be designated as beginning, intermediate, or advanced level, while others will be appropriate for all levels. Beginning level workshops are intended for players just starting out, and intermediate and advanced level workshops are intended for those with more experience. You will be able to sign up for only one workshop each day. If you are not one of the registered participants or you don't have an instrument, you are welcome to "audit" the workshop by observing from the back. 2025 Workshops
