In addition to the regular classes held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, we also hold special one off workshops.  These might focus on a specific instrument, a specific aspect of traditional music (e.g. Composition) or a particular piece.  It is often a great opportunity to get together with other like-minded players as part of a large ensemble.
