What a lovely start to the term – a full class, with lots of familiar faces, and a few folk new to the group as well.
We started off tonight looking at our bow holds, and how to keep a relaxed grip, while still controlling the bow. We also spent a bit of time thinking about different tones we can get out of the fiddle. Then we played around with rhythm – finding the beats and off beats, and creating a short riff to play to accompany the first part of Brenda Stubbert’s Reel.
I’m looking forward to the rest of the term!
