Begin with the basics of fiddling and learn to play simple tunes in no time. We’ll review the A and D major scales, and start with simple melodies such as taught in Introduction to the Violin/Fiddle. Then we’ll learn several standard fiddle tunes that teach you how to play by ear and bow with confidence, including shuffle and saw stroke bowing patterns. After eight weeks, you will have a small repertoire of standard fiddle tunes and be well on your way to learning many more.
This class prepares you for Fiddle 1 Repertoire.
