Wonderful hands on cultural experience

Lesley_L, Oct 2026
Set in a beautiful cultural community of artisan crafts and stores, we were invited to relax and welcomed with tea. As musicians we enjoyed the hands on opportunity to practice and perform as well as listen to the amazing expertise of our tutor. We actually learned simple notation and performed a simple tune! The tutor and her team were so welcoming and Lichi, our guide, was a great translator - we had a lot of fun and it was a beautiful learning experience. Thank you!
