Adam Sutherland School of Fiddle
Spring 2016
The inaugural Adam Sutherland School of Fiddle will take place on March 12-13th at Sloans in Glasgow city centre!
Join Adam for a weekend school that emphasises creativity, tune writing, technique and fun! Adam has years of experience working with fiddlers of all ages and ability. Learning with Adam will feature opportunities to learn tunes, explore the vastness of music, discuss learning challenges, play in a session and attend a concert featuring Adam and special guests (TBA) on Saturday evening.
This course is suitable for intermediate and advanced fiddle players. All tunes will be taught by ear, but sheet music will be provided at the end of the course. Attendees are encouraged to bring a recording device and an open mind. Attendees of all ages are welcome, there are not age restrictions from the venue. Cellos and violas also welcome!
