Due to a very high demand we are pleased to offer the occasional recording workshop.  Each participant will spend around 15 hours of "hands on" class time, followed by their own 4 hour session.     We only allow 8 students per class so that everyone can have the hands on attention required to learn this material. Please contact us with any questions or to get on the waiting list.

The next recording workshop will be:

T.B.A
