Workshops
Workshops are a great space to learn how to fiddle in groups and with some spectacular guest instructors from across Canada. They cater to people who haven't touched a fiddle in months - or ever - or who want to boost their regular classes & practices. It's also a great time for our community to learn some tunes together to bring to our jams and performances.
Our workshops include classes for all ages and skill levels:
-
First-time: For those who have never played a fiddle before or would like to start playing again from the very beginning of learning.
-
Beginner: For new fiddlers with some experience, such as completing a first-time class recently, and who can play a handful of tunes (first-time, beginner, etc).
-
Intermediate: For those who have played the fiddle for a few years and know many tunes.
-
Advanced: For those who have played the fiddle for more than a few years and have a good repertoire of tunes.
