The music weekend at Gjøvik 2020
Here there will be a summary from the music weekend in Gjøvik which takes place on a weekend in May.
This year, the course weekend will consist of parallel courses in forging the harmonica, playing the harmonica, playing langeleik (both for beginners and advanced), nailing willow flutes and making bark naps.
Saturday will mainly involve forging the body of the harmonica, while the work of making and fitting springs will take place on Sunday. In addition to using the old main forge, this year we will inaugurate our new gasses!
The playing courses for harmonica and langeleik take place in several of the living rooms at Eiktunet, with good opportunities to divide the participants into several groups according to level. Munharpeforum and langeleikforum provide instruments for loan.

The course in willow flute and barking begins with course participants being taken on a tour of the surrounding area to learn how to find typical growing places for willow and alder that are suitable. They then get to take with them plenty of subjects to take back to Eiktunet, where the rest of Friday is spent learning how to nail flutes.
