We've been organizing Youth Traditional Song Weekend for over ten years now, and we've learned some things along the way! Here is a big collection of all sorts of resources for singers, song collectors, organizers, and community members. Some of these have been shared by attendees at weekend brainstorming sessions, and some we have come across and found useful as we develop workshops and our own organizing practices for YTS.

Directory of Marginalized Music Instructors
A'yen Tran, an old time musician, organizer, and former YTS Committee member, put together this Directory of Marginalized Music Instructors. If you're looking for teachers or performers for your event, take a look through this rich resource for some folks you may not have heard of.
The list was compiled from people nominating their favorite instructors at tinyurl.com/DiverseTradTeachers. You can submit nominations and help continue to grow the list.
