Fiddles On Fire
This is a fun ensemble for any string player (violin, viola, cello, bass) with at least 2 years of experience. Students will improve learning by ear and reading music as they are exposed to the techniques of a great fiddler. This group will experience improvisation methods, build confidence in playing melodies and bass lines and learn how to develop blazing chops as they prepare for a final performance at the end of the summer!
