Simple Gifts Workshop: Learn to Play Spoons

Simple Gifts teaches participants of all ages to play spoons, following in the Appalachian tradition where two teaspoons are held in one hand and played as a percussion instrument. Once everyone has the hang of it, Simple Gifts introduces the basics of arranging music. Then workshop participants (especially children) are invited to perform on-stage with Simple Gifts at the concert that follows the workshop. Recommended for ages 8 to adult. You must bring a mask to attend this program! Please register for either the 3pm workshop or the 4pm workshop. Registration required by emailing Rhiannon Summers at rhsummers@pa.gov or calling 570-477-7780.

Park and meet at the Amphitheater in Ricketts Glen State Park.
