Workshop at 1pm "Intermediate Old-Time 'Rhythm & Repertoire' Workshop"
Players of any of the traditional old-time instruments--fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, and more--will be guided as a group through a selection of interesting tunes, with melodic, structural, and chordal details emphasized. While instrument-specific technical instruction will not be provided, we will present the tunes at manageable tempos for on-the-fly learning, suggest appropriate chord progressions, and encourage questions and discussion throughout the class. Participants can expect to come away with new repertoire to make their own as well as a heightened understanding of how to analyze fiddle tunes for clearer learning in the future. The use of recording devices is strongly recommended so that the class material can continue to be finessed at home.
