Irish Fiddle with Matt Shortridge
Irish Fiddle will introduce you to the subtle arts of fiddling in the Irish style. We will focus on learning a few tunes and how to play them in the Irish style through ornamentation, pacing and rhythm. We will learn a tune from each of the essential Irish forms: jigs, reels, hornpipes, polkas and slides. You should bring a recording device of some kind if possible and expect to learn primarily by ear. The class is open to anyone, but a basic prior understanding of playing would be recommended to get the most out of the class. Adults and children are all welcome.
