Introduction to Irish Fiddle

Introduction to Irish Fiddle with Tom Morley

In this workshop for beginning & intermediate fiddlers new to the Irish style, I'll present a short history of Irish fiddling, and teach several representative tunes (jig, reel, polka) from the Irish fiddlers’ standard repertoire. In addition, I'll show bowing styles and ways of ornamenting notes for that authentic Irish sound. Tunes will be taught from a combination of written sheet music (provided), and some playing by ear. Plenty of opportunity for Q&A as well. A fun way to get started in the "mighty" world of Irish traditional fiddling!

The capacity for this class is 16 students. This class is presented in collaboration with the John C. Campbell Folk School. There will be an optional Orientation and Closing Ceremony hosted from the Folk School campus that students can attend online.
