	"Love In the Greenwood: Robin Hood Ballads" (Intermediate) As the seasons turn in Sherwood Forest, music rises once again from the voice and lute of Allan-a-Dale and his fellow minstrels. This workshop will feature songs connected with the legends of Robin Hood, including a traditional Child ballad as well as the famous Victorian love song “O Promise Me,” which originated in an operetta about Robin Hood and his merry men. We will emphasize the techniques of efficient fingering and sustain. Because we will be singing, our home tuning will be C-G-C. Click here for the tablature arrangement of "Robin Hood's Morris."
			"Timeless Dance Tunes” (Advanced ) Some of the most compelling and exciting music in the world was designed to accompany dances. In this workshop, the country dance "Childgrove" and the hornpipe "King of the Fairies" will be our songs to master. Please bring a capo! The home tuning will be C-G-C (compatible with D-A-D tablature). Click here for the tablature arrangement of "Childgrove."
