Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas lead workshops for all string players — violin (fiddle), viola, cello, and bass. Other instrumentalists are also welcome to join in the workshops. Alasdair and Natalie explore playing traditional music in a group, focusing on arrangement ideas as well as the techniques that give traditional music its particular flavor. They look at the elements of language, rhythm and dance, and how to put fiddle tunes together to form a medley or a larger piece of music. Teaching is geared towards intermediate to advanced musicians but enthusiasts of all levels are welcome and encouraged to participate at their level.
