Amy and I will demonstrate how to play along with fiddle tunes without having to play all the notes.

The Jam Band will be in the Shippensburg auditorium, along with In Person jammers… and you can listen in and play along from home!  We will mute your audio, but you will see the group playing in the hall as you join in the fun.” It’s a grand experiment in virtually playing together.

Level: Int-Adv
Keys: G, C, D and A
I credit John Denver for introducing me to the autoharp through his recording of Bryan Bowers’ “Berkeley Woman.”  Many of Denver’s songs fit well with the autoharp. In this session we’ll play and sing some of Denver’s most popular songs, as well as some that may be less well-known, and some songs by others that he often sang. Open to all levels and all types of ’harps. Bring your voice!

What is a suspended fourth chord (Sus4), and why do you need one (or even two or three)? In this workshop, we will learn all about Sus4 chords and what makes them special. Not only will you receive instructions on how to MAKE a Sus4 chord for your own autoharp, you will also be shown how and where to use them in the context of music that you already know. You'll also learn neat tricks for using them in tandem with other chords!

Cohen-Grappel Recording Endowment Winner, Gunna Yun, had a banner year at MLAG in 2025. She placed second in the contest, and she was the recipient of our recording endowment the same year! Her recording is now being released for you to enjoy. Come spend an hour with her, hear about her experience making her studio recording, hear some of her music, and celebrate with cake!
