Brief Introduction
A fun introduction to the violin for children ages 8-14.Description
This is not a prerequisite to the other classes I teach. Children who are ready to make a longer commitment to playing the violin are welcome to skip this and will not miss anything if they do. Anyone with any prior experience playing the violin should probably skip this class. The goal is to learn a simple fiddle tune - Bile Them Cabbage Down - by ear, in order to give children the opportunity to try violin lessons in a shorter six week course. Other simple tunes will be included, as well. There will be no note reading until the second class in the Fiddle Club series, but there will be counting, ear training, and technique building exercises in Fiddle Firsts.
