Lithuanian Folk Instruments

In Lithuanian folk instrument playing lessons, one learns to play authentic string (kanklės), wind (birbynė, lamzdelis, ožragis), and percussion (skrabalai, būgnas) instruments. Participants gain knowledge of traditional melodies, sutartinės, dance and song arrangement techniques, develop improvisation skills, and get acquainted with folk music-making culture. Classes strengthen sense of rhythm, musical hearing, ensemble playing, and creativity, providing an opportunity to play both solo and in a group.
