Course Synopsis: This course is for the beginner fiddler. It begins with a series of six lessons that teach how to hold the instrument, proper posture, bowing technique, and two easy tunes. In the subsequent twelve lessons, there is a progressive study of fingering, bowing, tunes and ornamentation. Emphasis is placed on tempo, rhythm, and tone when teaching the tunes. The 'Fiddle Basics' course will equip the beginner fiddle player with fourteen great tunes as well as all the necessary rudiments to start the journey down the long and adventurous road of Irish fiddle playing.
