Note from Faculty
Director Rob Roy Parnell - We
invite all harmonica players who desire to learn the
diversity of this little but powerful instrument to come to
learn in one of the most unique learning environments.....
The
Kerrville
Folk Festival. Celebrating its 41st year, the festival is
located in the heart of the beautiful hill country
outside of
Kerrville,
Texas
. Airports at both
Austin
and
San Antonio
are about two hours away. The three day event provides a
unique learning environment by limiting the number of
students thereby ensuring that the student will be
enriched with acquiring the knowledge and teachings from the
three teachers and fellow players. The teaching
syllabus has been revised recently, reflecting the desires of past students to make the workshop even better! This year
workshop also includes a performance at the end of the third
day on stage with a band at the
Kerrville
Folk Festival! Tent camping at the festival is included with
your registration and of course
lodging is available in
Kerrville
which is approximately 15 minutes from the festival.
