Fiddle Repertoire with Anatomy of a Fiddle Tune
Bowings, pickings, and more! We’ll explore a bit of Old-Time, Celtic, and perhaps French-Canadian, and have a bit of fun along the way.
An ongoing class where we learn new tunes. And, as we learn them, we explore different styles and approaches to bowing, improvisation, variations, and more. We'll look at an Appalachian Old-Time tune or two and explore the way we vary it with bowings and melodic interpretations. And we'll look at Celtic tunes and explore some of the ornamentations and variations found within that repertoire. Along the way, we'll work to expand our knowledge of chords, scales, and music theory as it applies to playing the tunes. Note, mandolins and melody playing guitarists are welcome, though the focus is on how fiddlers map their unfettered and unfretted fingerboards.
