Beginning Fiddle

Tuesdays 6:15-7:15 pm
Fall 2024: September 10 - December 3
Elgar Room
Fiddle students listening to a new tune.

Always wanted to play the fiddle? In this zero to toe-tapping class we’ll start with the very basics: how to hold the fiddle and bow with clean, relaxed technique that fits your body, how to “hear” and remember a tune. We’ll progress using classic melodies from the Irish, Old Time, New England and French Canadian traditions, and explore how to find and join a jam session or just play for your own joy at home. Written music will be available; recording device highly recommended. Join us on Tuesday, September 3 for an open house – get to know the teachers and find the right level for you.
