2010 Workshop Participants
Our inaugural workshop this past summer was rated a huge success, exceeding all expectations, by everyone who participated--students, artists in residence, faculty, the community, and staff.  60% of the students from this year have already pre-registered for 2011 and all of the artists in residence and faculty would like to join us again.  Following is a video which provides a good portrayal of the event and the experience.

We hope that your winter is going well.  We are having a real La Nina year with two feet of snow already on the ground at our house.  It's perfect for skiing, snow shoeing, playing the guitar in front of the fireplace. We hope that you will join us in Bigfork next August.  If you have any questions please send me an email at dfeffer@cocguitarfoundation.org or call 406-837-2574.
