PineCone hosts regular workshops for amateur musicians. These online and in-person workshops offer emerging musicians the chance to sit knee-to-knee with brilliant musicians and teachers. The ultimate goal of these gatherings is to inspire more people to play this music we love. There are highlights videos from past workshops here.
Here’s what’s coming up …
