Description
Singing schools in the mountains were scheduled when people were not occupied with their work. Usually held when the "literary" schools were adjourned, singing schools taught the rudiments of the music to the general population by the use of shaped notes (also called Old Harp Singing). Come and participate or just listen. Songbooks will be provided.
