This educational workshop style festival has been conceived by the Cowichan Valley Music Teachers Association to offer voice students of CVMTA members an opportunity to extend their music study by preparing and playing for an adjudicator and audience in a friendly, low-key atmosphere. Classes are kept small, and the emphasis is on encouragement and learning in a workshop setting. Next Songfest will be held May 3 - 2013. Registration Deadline is Sat, April 13, 2012; no late registrations will be accepted.
Friday, May 3, 2013. For more info please contact Ann
Mendenhall
