ELM FARM MUSIC
MUSIC WORKSHOPS
For our one-day workshops, we create and build a special teaching / learning experience for intermediate to advanced players and performers. Most of our workshops are designed to improve the playing and performing skills of guitarist singers, but explore the details below to find the one that suits you best. Numbers are limited on each workshop to allow the best learning experience in an encouraging and supportive environment. All of our tutors are skilled musicians and teachers within their own field.
Cajon Masterclasses with Robbie K. Jones
Saturday 15th of May 2027 and
Sunday 16th of May 2027 from 11.00am
Do you remember when you saw the cajon being played on stage, thought "I'd love to do that" and you bought one? Did your cajon end up as a coffee table or did you persevere and now play it regularly? Maybe you play yours occasionally, or already use one as part of your stage performance? You might even be a percussionist ready extend your playing repertoire.
Well, whatever your level, here's your chance to extend your ability in a four-hour masterclass run by Cajon Maestro Robbie K. Jones of Track Dogs. Robbie will bring a couple of spare cajons in case you don't have one, but if you do, please bring yours along.
The masterclasses will be for a small number of players, so that Robbie can help everyone develop during the day. The classes will be held at Elm Farm Music and will run from 11.00am to 4.00pm, with breaks for refreshments and lunch, which are included in the price.
The cost of each Cajon workshop is £85.00 per person.

Acoustic Guitar Workshop with Brooks Williams
Saturday 16th of October 2027
from 10.30am through to 4.30pm
"There are very few who can play guitar as well as Brooks Williams, but even fewer who can teach the way he does !"
A much requested return for Brooks Williams for an ever-popular guitar workshop. The workshop is suitable for everyone from a relative novice to an advanced player. Brooks' ability to teach guitar techniques in a "mixed ability" group is second to none. While the ability to play the odd bar chord is an advantage, as long as you know basic "block chords", you are sure to benefit from taking part in this workshop.
During the day, Brooks will introduce techniques, tip and tricks to improve your overall playing, but be warned, he will encourage you to practice your new skills after the event!
The workshop will start at 10.30am and will run through to 4.30pm, with a break for lunch, as well as the usual tea/coffee breaks. Lunch and refreshments are included within the price of the workshop.
In the evening, Brooks will be in Concert to show you just what you can aspire to!
The cost of the workshop is £95.00 per person.
