Celtic Connections Workshops Fiddle Village with Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall : Exhibition Hall
Please Note: This is a past event.
Fraser & Haas will hold a special 2-day Trad Music Workshop/Masterclass for intermediate to advanced string players (fiddle, viola, cello and bass) based on the fiddle music of Scotland and beyond.
Alasdair Fraser excels in expressing the beauty and energy of traditional Scottish fiddling and in creating exciting new music that remains true to that tradition. A focus of Alasdair’s teaching is to encourage people young and old; experienced and beginning – to find their own voice in traditional music; to explore their potential in a supportive and non-competitive environment and to use the power of music and dance to create and enhance community.
The goal of the Fiddle School is to explore playing traditional music in a group, with emphasis on arrangement ideas and the techniques that give traditional music its particular flavour. We will look at the elements of language and dance and how to put fiddle tunes together to form a medley or a larger piece of music. All tunes will be taught by ear but music will be provided.
Space is limited – advance booking essential for an unforgettable experience!
Please note that your ticket is valid for both Saturday and Sunday from 10.15am - 3pm. Both events will take place in the Exhibition Hall.
Tickets: £55 for weekend
