Classes
All Day Saturday Class:
Folk Fiddle For Seasoned Beginners
is designed for newer students who need some work with basic skills and learn more slowly than our larger group classes. It will cover some of the basic elements of playing including holding the violin, left-hand technique, bowing, tone production, practicing and building technical facility while learning some traditional folk melodies in a few different styles.
