2 sessions from Wed 30 Jul 2025 [Show]
The 2 mornings at beginner level is aimed at younger students who have had some experience in playing, but may find 4 full days too long. Players should have a sound knowledge of how to hold the fiddle and bow, and be able to play simple tunes using open strings and fingers. We will learn tunes by ear as well as from sheet music, so a basic knowledge of reading sheet music is helpful. Below are examples of the level of pieces we will learn.
Classes will be held at Kirkwall Grammar School on Wednesday 30th and Thursday 31st July from 10am till 1pm. The concert will be on Thursday Evening at the Orkney Theatre, Kirkwall and will showcase the week’s learning.
