Looking forward to workshops and performances during the Fiddle Hell Online Festival this year! 35 live concerts, 35 live jam sessions, and 170 live workshops, for fiddle, mandolin, cello, guitar, old-time banjo, and singing: Bluegrass, Cajun, Cape Breton, Electric, French Canadian (Québécois), Gypsy Jazz, Irish, Jazz, Klezmer, New Acoustic, New England, Norwegian, Old-Time Southern, Scottish, Swedish, Swing, Texas, Western Swing, and other .

We’ll look at a couple of classic tunes and focus on the important elements, like phrasing and rhythm, and work on techniques such as pull-offs, drop thumbs and rolls. Solid time is the engine behind good banjo playing, and so we’ll come back to some of the right hand basics as well that give the drive we’re all looking for. Tuesdays from 7:00pm - 8:30pm

Dates: April 27, May 4, 11, & 18, 2021

We’ll take a fun and intense hands-on approach in Bruce’s old time fiddle workshop. Tunes are taught a phrase at a time, first melody, then bowing, and then piecing things together. We'll dig into old-time music's unique phrasing, rhythm and syncopation, intonation, etc. The tune is the vehicle, so mostly we'll be playing! If enough folks are interested, we can also spend some time working on singing with the fiddle.
Time: The course will take place on Wednesdays from 7:00pm - 8:30pm

Dates: April 28, May 5, 12, 19
