Emily Smith playing fiddle

Over the hour session, Emily Smith will teach one or more Old-Time American fiddle tunes, breaking down each Tune phrase by phrase and focusing on the tunings, bowing patterns and inflections that make the unique sound of Old Time fiddle music.

This workshop is aimed at players who can already play their fiddle/violin at a basic level. The tunes will be taught by ear so you don’t need to read music.

The class will be timed to be on the same day as the Harrison’s monthly old time/bluegrass session and hopefully everyone will stick around and play through the tune we’ve learned.  The session goes from 19:00 till 22:00.

This is a free workshop but we’ll be collect optional voluntary donations after the class to help fund future courses.
