Estonian Traditional Music Center

The Estonian Traditional Music Center in Viljandi organizes between 21 and 24 March a camp for young people (ages 14 - 35) interested in playing a musical instrument and to learn more about Estonian and Scottish traditional music and different styles of European traditional music.
 
The workshops will have as main musical leaders/mentors a selected string of traditional musicians like Kate Young, Merike Paberits and Jaan Jaago.

The process of learning is carried out through workshops where the participants learn the songs and techniques from the supervisors by listening and repeating. The participants are divided into two groups for the instrument workshops. In addition to the main workshops, joint workshops will also be held by Silver Sepp, Sofia Joons, Juhan Suits and Margit Kuhi. The camp will close with a concert during the Traditional Music Center birthday celebrations.
