About Fiddle 4

 This course aims to immerse you in fabulous folk fiddle music in a range of keys, rhythms and structures.

You will have ample opportunities to refine, develop and explore personal style, explore the limitless role of the fiddle in folk music, learn great tunes, improve your rhythm and build you confidence by learning and playing with others.

We will improve skills in ornamentation and double stopping, as well as improvising variations and accompaniments.

Besides students who feel ready to progress from level 3, this class is suitable for students who are new to folk repertoire but have a good working knowledge of the instrument.

The fiddle is one of the most well-known and popular instruments, its versatility spanning many genres and making it popular in many traditions worldwide.

Folk fiddle playing is a fluid technique that can change as much with the individual player as it does with regional style.

This course aims to introduce traditional fiddle tunes and accompaniments and open the door to developing personal style.

Material will be predominantly English but will also include tunes from other European and American traditions.

The groups have a laid back and friendly approach, and allow a variety of abilities to co-exist happily.

Learning will be done by ear with recordings provided online after each session

Young people 12–15 years old may attend with a participating, responsible adult over 18 years of age.
