Fiddle 1 begins with the basics of fiddling and learning to play simple tunes in no time. We’ll review the G and D major scales and start with simple melodies such as those taught in Intro to 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. A recording (audio/video) device is recommended, as is a standard music manuscript book. All handout materials will be supplied by the teacher. Ages 12 up
