Workshops: Intro to Cape Breton Fiddle 4-5pm In this class we will learn tunes common in the Cape Breton repertoire.  We'll look at the elements that characterize this style of fiddling -bowing, grace notes, etc and listen to several prominent Cape Breton players to identify these characteristics in their playing.  Tunes will be taught by ear so please bring a recording device. Intermediate/Advanced Cape Breton fiddle 5:30 – 6:30pm This class is will be structured similar to the intro class, the difference being the rate at which students learn.  More advanced bowing and embellishments will be covered.  Tunes will be taught by ear so please bring a recording device.
