Friday 10:15-11:30 Session 2H Mandolin

“Introduction to Mandolin”-The mandolin is tuned exactly like a violin (fiddle) but has twice as many strings! It’s not as hard as you would imagine getting started, though. This class will introduce pick choice, basic chords for accompanying other instruments and beginning flatpicking. A few loaner mandolins will be available for use.

Friday 1:00-2:15 Session 3H Fiddle

“Let’s Fiddle Around!”-Always wondered about fiddle playing but never had the chance to give it a try? Just starting out and need some help along the way? This is the class for you. Fiddle basics including bowing, string choices, bridge modifications, and playing techniques will be covered. All levels welcome. A few “loaner” fiddles will be available for class use.

Friday 2:30-3:45 Session 4H Fiddle

“Exploring the Key of G”-Let’s continue to explore the scales and double stops in the key of G. Droning, shuffle bow and slides will help add flavor and interest to a basic fiddle tune. Several tunes will be taught.

All skill levels welcome, a few loaner fiddles will be available.
