Inter/Advance Old-time Fiddle
Tune up your fiddle, rosin up your bow, and let’s bust down! We’ll learn a few fiddle tunes that will introduce techniques to help get the old-time groove. Specific attention will be placed on bowing and articulation as we go. We’ll work on execution, drive, and melodic variations to pay homage to source fiddlers while developing your unique sound. Other concepts may be explored based on interest, including but not limited to: alternate tunings, tone, and music theory.
