Fiddle, Beginning
First time trying a fiddle? Starting up again after a long break? Been experimenting for a while but need some direction? This workshop is for you. This is truly a beginner’s workshop: we start with how to hold the equipment and progress through a range of bow and finger techniques that get you started and keep you going with ideas long after camp ends.
