Music of the Land is a class that explores how music connects to culture, land, and tradition. Each session will focus on a different culture, showing the instruments, rhythms, and stories that give shape to its sound. Some days will include live demonstrations and videos, while other sessions will be guided by discussion and listening. Participants are welcome to bring their own instruments to share and explore together. The aim is to experience music as a living bridge between people, place, and memory.

I am a musician, artist, and educator with experience exploring the connections between culture and sound. My work combines performance, storytelling, and teaching to help people experience music as both creative expression and cultural heritage. This background inspires the class, where guide participants in learning about instruments, traditions, and the ways music carries identity across communities. |
