Fiddle 101

A weekly group class and jam for adults who have little to no experience playing fiddle, and who want to experience the joy of playing music as a group. We’ll focus on building a foundation on your instrument while collecting a shared repertoire of classic jam tunes and gaining confidence playing with others.
