I am unable to travel for workshops, classes. To sit in my living room and receive this information in the friendly, comfortable style Ann Heymann shows in her classes - valuable and enriching and fortunate beyond words. I was able to take a class in a home in San Francisco, California *ahem* a couple of decades ago. To hear her live, watch her hands, and enjoy her sense of humour in person- it was information I've used for all the years following, but the sense memory of the class is still strong for me.

I am grateful beyond measure, to Ann, for her scholarship, her musicianship, and her kindness, and to your organization for making this video possible and available to anyone with a Net connection.

Ann, thank you for your hard work and dedication to preserving the unique form of playing the clairseach. It's hard to imagine another person who has made as significant a contribution to our current understanding as you have.

I was after reading the book, but seeing the demonstration of the fingerings really brings light to an old tradition. Thanks for shedding light on this.

Ann has so much information to share, but it was very distracting to be in such an echoey room, with people holding up papers, walking in front of the camera..I couldn't get a lot of what she was saying. I'm sure the workshop was excellent, just the video was an issue.

Thank you for the feedback, as we embrace doing things in hybrid format we are working to make such productions better and better.
