Website: Mellor Brook Community Centre - Tuesdays during term time - 7:30pm These group workshops enable enthusiastic fiddle players to meet weekly in a relaxed, comfortable, and friendly, tutor-lead environment to learn and play folk and traditional music. They learn through the playing of music primarily from the rich local repertoires of Lancashire and North-West England although regularly dip into those of Britain in general and further afield. They learn how to play the types of tunes commonly found in traditional music like jigs, hornpipes and waltzes, reels, polkas and airs. Attention is given to reproducing the style of the tune by the use of bowing technique, ornamentation and variation, along with the phrasing and expression found in that tradition. The workshops are open to fiddle/violin players of all ages and abilities. You should have some experience and your own instrument. These workshops are NOT suitable for complete beginners but previous experience of folk and traditional music is not a requirement and nor is the capacity to read music. If you play, at whatever level, and would like to improve, come and join us. The cost of attending per 12 week term is £48 per person or £30 for concessions. |
