Fiddlers and violinists - are you interested in adding to your current fiddling experience? The advanced course offers more challenging tunes and new ways to get them under your fingers. Learn to pick up tunes by ear, improve music reading, and master the basics of violin playing. Explore different fiddling styles, such as Canadian Old Time, Irish, or Cape Breton, and discover how to join local fiddle jams, dances, and workshops. Students must bring a violin with a bow and case, a shoulder rest, and a music stand.
