Old Time Fiddle Tunes

This is an intermediate/advanced level class for fiddlers. Tunes will be taught with an emphasis on bowing techniques that provide the rhythmic pulse and drive that characterizes old-time fiddle music. Differences in regional styles will be explained, with attention to the original sources for the tunes. Old-time music is an oral and aural tradition; tunes will be taught by ear, so a recording device may be useful. Amber Mueller will provide guitar accompaniment during the class.
