for many of the tunes that we play.
Encourage your favorite guitar player to play tunes with you! It
will REALLY help you keep a steady beat.
Florida
State Folk Festival at White Springs What a wonderful weekend
of folk music! I enjoyed teaching the fiddle workshop and look
forward to meeting you all again along our musical paths! Looking
forward to teaching "How to 'fiddlize' a tune!" at the 2006 festival!
Florida
Fiddler's Convention - Katie
taught a beginning fiddle workshop at the 2003 convention and enjoyed
working with young students as well as adults! Southern
Jubilee played for a contra dance set and for the Sunday a.m. waltz
time. The convention is a "fiddler's dream" weekend!
Hope you'll be able to get there!!!
Will
McLean Festival
- This year
Katie taught both beginning and intermediate fiddle classes.
The intermediate class turned out to include her "How to 'fiddlize'
a tune" session! This is another super music festival...
again filled with workshops, jams and performances. See you there
next year! Pictures from the '04 festival are below. (Oh yes.... fiddle
workshop participants do LOTS of playing! These photos just caught
us in a few minutes of talk,)
YOUR workshop - We
can share the love of fiddle music in many ways.
-
A
workshop for your area jam group.
-
A
workshop and performance for the string classes in your school. We
will give a brief history of fiddle music and teach the students how
to "fiddlize" a tune!
-
The
band will demonstrate the instruments and perform early American
folk and fiddle music for YOUR group, club, school, etc.! We had a GREAT
time at Osteen Elementary in Osteen,
FL recently!!! And... we loved playing for the students of
Enterprise Elementary also!
-
Katie
is available to teach fiddle workshops at YOUR local or state
music festival! You'll be surprised at how many people
will dust off fiddles that have been sitting in the closet for lack
of a teacher. NOW is the time to get started!
"You
have a wonderful way of getting to the VERY basics in your beginning
workshops! Thank you for getting me started!" -
