We will offer two separate technique tracks during the morning session - one for Beginner to Advanced Beginner players and a second for Intermediate to Advanced players. The afternoon session will focus on large-group playing for all workshop participants. You may refer to the Berlin/Blaker Self-Rating chart (http://tibiaduo.com/wp-content/pdf/self_rating.pdf) if you have any doubt about the level of your playing ability.

Clinician:
Anne Timberlake has performed in 34 US states, playing repertoire from Bach to 21st-century premieres. She holds degrees in recorder performance from Oberlin Conservatory and Indiana University. Critics have described her playing as "dazzling" (Chicago Classical Review) and "preternaturally persuasive" (The Ann Arbor Observer). A Fulbright grantee, Anne won Early Music America’s Naxos Recording Competition with her ensemble Wayward Sisters. Anne is a passionate and prolific teacher, and regularly leads workshops across the United States as well as webinars and online courses.
