Caffè Lena On-Line School of Music: Old Time Fiddle Course with Bruce Molsky

Thursday, July 9 @ 7:00PMThu, Jul 9 @ 7:00PM

The course will take place on Thursdays from 7:00pm - 8:30pm
July 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th https://nvite.com/caffelena/d6415
We’ll take a fun and intense hands-on approach in Bruce’s old time fiddle workshop. Tunes are taught a phrase at a time, first melody, then bowing, and then piecing things together. We'll dig into old-time music's unique phrasing, rhythm and syncopation, intonation, etc. The tune is the vehicle, so mostly we'll be playing! If enough folks are interested, we can also spend some time working on singing with the fiddle.

The workshop will be taught on the Zoom internet platform. Instructions for accessing the online course will be sent to you by email when you enroll.
