Beginning Irish Fiddle for Violinists

Class | Registration opens 8/6/25 10:00 AM EDT

This class is your intro and overview of traditional Irish music and fiddling designed specifically for classically trained violinists! Learn Irish fiddle as a fun alternative style of playing. You’ll learn about bowings, rhythms, left and right-hand ornamentation, while building a good repertoire of tunes - jigs, reels, hornpipes, barn dances, polkas and more. Tunes will be taught traditionally - by ear - and transcriptions provided to assist and support learning. The class will learn repertoire that is commonly played at local sessions.
