For Tappers…
Special arrangements are available for those who wish to concentrate on tap and touchstyle techniques. Along withthe resources available to all participants, tappers will receive no less than 3 one hour private tapping sessions. Since 2004, the focus of this program has been to engage students as well as adult learners from all over the United States in a culturally rich, all-inclusive music program.
