All four fiddlers bring with them a wealth of experience as established performers and will be working with all experience levels throughout the weekend. Full weekend participants at all levels will have the chance to work with all instructors.This four day weekend of on-line workshops via Zoom caters to beginners who have a year of experience onwards up to advanced players. Each day, you’ll be able to choose from a range of classes rooted in Celtic (Irish &amp; French Canadian), American, and Scandinavian fiddling traditions catered to your ability level. You’ll reach new levels in understanding bowing, rhythm, ornamentation, coming up with variations, improving tone, playing by ear, composing, set building, and the list goes on. We will also explore the emotional and practical sides of the musical journey: Practice Techniques, Dealing with Nervousness, Hitting a Plateau, The Business of Music and Tips for Navigating it, Dealing with Discouragement, Forming a Band, How to Amplify Your Sound! Our presenters will host multiple open discussion sessions which allows attendees to dive into these topics and many more in a supportive environment.<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vBqEDGIEE0s32o-xpW-2t0VLjkFWsb7w/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tentative Schedule - click here for full weekend schedule! </a>Friday: - All levels (4-7 PM EST).- Session/Chat room: All levels 7-8 EST*Saturday - Monday:- Beginner classes (12-2 PM EST)- Intermediate - Advanced classes (3-6 PM EST)-Session/Chat room: All levels 7-8 EST**At the end of each day (Friday - Monday), we will hold both a virtual session and a &quot;chat/hang out&quot; room.
