2-day weekend courses for Adult Players (1 year +) at the Harp Studio, St.Nicholas Park with a ‘Friday Extra Time’ option for one-to-one tuition from 4pm Friday evening. (Total beginners: please come to my Beginners Harp Days).
A top feature of the course is Janet’s wild and wonderful ‘Trad Irish Night’ on the Saturday evening. This involves dinner (may be a stew, buffet or BBQ always with veggie options) finishing with a vibrant traditional Irish session with local Irish musicians.
Guaranteed to give effective and motivating group training in a social and progressive atmosphere. With a maximum of 8 players on each course, early booking is advised!
‘Friday Extra Time’ is available to weekenders wishing some one-on-one extra time with Janet - a whole hour dedicated to whatever your programme - Book it with Janet!

Book directly with the hotel for a discount (not on the ‘Booking’ websites). Alternatively, there is a wide range of other local hotels, guest-houses, Air BnB and Bed and Breakfasts in Warwick - all of which you’ll find on the internet.
