Join our Intermediate Fiddle Class and take your playing to the next level in a welcoming, collaborative setting. Designed for those with some fiddle experience, this group explores a variety of traditional tunes, builds on bowing techniques and ornamentation, and encourages ensemble playing and ear training. Taught by a variety of excellent instructors, students will dig deeper into regional styles and musical expression while keeping the joy of playing at the heart of every session. All are welcome—come ready to grow your skills and share in the music!

Lower intermediate students are strongly encouraged to also attend the beginner class to continue in their pursuit of strong foundational skills and techniques.
