Spellbinding fiddle-singers and BBC Folk Award winners Rowan & Anna are steeped in traditional music from Britain, France, Scandinavia & beyond. Rowan also performs with Lady Maisery, & her multiple award-winning Solo show 'Dispatches on the Red Dress'. Anna lives and works as a musician and teacher in Toulouse, where she completed a diploma in traditional Occitan music at the Conservatoire, & she recently spent a year studying fiddle music in Trondheim, Norway.
The workshop will cover rhythm, bowing & ornamentation in several European traditional fiddle styles, with ideas to use in your own playing. There will be some smaller group exercises with a little improvisation, making up harmonies, accompanying songs & duo playing.
Please bring a recording device as teaching will be by ear, not from notation.

13.30 We'll take a deeper look at the use of rhythm, bowing & ornamentation in folk fiddle in different traditions. We'll take a closer look at some specific fiddle styles of Southern/Northern Europe/America as 'case studies' of some ideas we could add to our fiddle-playing toolkit.
