Old-time Fiddling 101(I)

An intro to Appalachian style fiddling of Kentucky, W. Virg., Virg. and N. Carol. The focus will be on learning tunes by ear, old-time bowing patterns & basic ornamentation, jamming tips and exploring what makes this fiddle style different from others. Come and learn a few beautiful, rhythmic and bluesy tunes that you'll enjoy playing for years to come.

Cajun Fiddle (I/A)

Want to put a little spicy bayou into your fiddling? Then come join the Cajun band class! We will learn great tunes, ornamentation, lead and back-up fiddle parts and play ‘til we get the swamp groove down. This Cajun class is great for people who wish to join in as accompanists on washboard, triangle, shaker, guitar, bass or anything else.
