Upcoming Workshops

String Changing and Instrument Care Workshop

with Julia Felix and Brian Nelson

Thursday, November 20, 6-7:30pm. $30

The age and quality of strings used on our instruments greatly affects the sound quality when we play! Learn how to change your instrument strings first-hand during Queen Bee's String Changing and Instrument Care Workshop, sponsored by D'Addario. Participants will receive a complimentary set of strings and string winder from D'Addario.

In addition to changing strings with the assistance of the Queen Bee staff, this 90 minute workshop will feature a discussion with local luthier Julia Felix about how to best take care of acoustic instruments in the dry climate of the Southwest. This workshop is great for players of guitar, mandolin, banjo, violin, and viola!

the registration fee can be transferred to a fully tax-deductible donation, or

Credits must be used within the calendar year; they expire on December 31. Two-person workshops may run as a semi-private lesson, at the discretion of Queen Bee administration and the teacher.
