SUMMARY:Fiddle Tune in Cross-G Tuning
DESCRIPTION:with Paul Kirk \nJoin Paul Kirk for this fiddle workshop in which he will teach Hell and Scissors. This tune comes from Kentucky fiddler James W. Day\, AKA Jilson Setters\, and we will be tuned in cross G. He’ll show you the flavor bits to help you get a sweet “Old-Time sound.” Also\, please be sure to check out Paul’s Patreon (patreon.com/paulkirk) and Old-Time TOTW series on YouTube. \nPaul Kirk has been playing bowed string instruments for 41 years and has been teaching them for 33 years privately\, in classroom settings\, and in workshop formats. He has closely studied Old-Time fiddle bowing patterns and techniques and has devised practical methods for teaching them. One of his specialties is teaching Old-Time fiddle to “cross over” students\, especially those coming from a background in Classical violin. For many\, acquiring the style and sound of this seemingly simple music can be difficult. He will help you get your violin to sound like a fiddle.  \nPaul gives remote and live private lessons and workshops. For more information please send an email to: FiddlerPaul71@gmail.com \n

SUMMARY:Hammered Dulcimer
DESCRIPTION:with Dave Neiman \nCome learn how the hammered dulcimer fits into traditional music. It is set up for keys that are Old Time friendly. Dave will show the arrangement of scale patterns and how they relate to a circle of fifths. It is suited for tunes that are major\, minor\, and modal. Not only good for playing melodies\, the dulcimer works for playing backup for fiddles and other instruments. You’ll be able to play along as Dave plays some tunes. \nDave Neiman\, Based in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, has been performing and teaching both privately and at festivals since the early 1980’s. His passion for the hammered dulcimer has taken him to music festivals\, concert stages\, and street performing venues in many parts of the U.S. as well as Canada\, Europe\, and Japan\, where he had the honor of a royal audience. A former National Hammered Dulcimer Champion at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield\, Kansas\, Dave started out playing traditional New England dance tunes on dulcimer but\, influenced by his classical and jazz guitar studies\, established a reputation for his arrangements of classical and popular pieces. After a bit of a hiatus from life on the road\, he is finally restarting his participation at a variety of festivals.

SUMMARY:Learning From Source Recordings
DESCRIPTION:with Ben Wetherbee \nSource recordings! They’re often scratchy\, funky\, and frequently intimidating to learn from! But with a little work and some deep listening\, they can be an incredible and indispensable learning tool. In this workshop we’ll talk about tips for learning and growing from these recordings and we’ll listen to a recording and go through the process of learning parts of it on the fiddle together. This workshop will be geared towards intermediate fiddlers with some tunes in their repertoire. Folks who are new to learning by ear are welcome! \nWe’ll be playing in Cross G (from the lowest string to the highest\, that’s GDGD\, with the A and E strings both tuned down a whole step to G and D). If you want to tune your fiddle to GDGD before the workshop\, that would be easiest\, though I’ll give folks a moment to tune in the workshop too! \nBen Wetherbee is a fiddler\, singer\, and multi-instrumentalist from Boston\, currently based in Western Massachusetts. Growing up in a musical family with his mom\, Ruth Rappaport\, his earliest musical memories are of fiddlers playing all night long. Inspired by the fiddling he heard at parties\, dances\, bars\, and festivals\, Ben was soon “taken” by the fiddle\, learning both from older sources and modern players. Now\, he plays in a duo with Ruth\, in a contra dance band\, and as a solo act\, mixing original songs\, tunes\, and experimental music.

SUMMARY:Young Tradition Vermont

We will teach two old-time fiddle tunes and a child ballad\, and participants are encouraged to play along on mute throughout the workshop. Please join us for a fun hour! \nThe Young Tradition Youth Commission is one of Young Tradition Vermont’s numerous programs. Each year\, a young artist is chosen to lead a group charged with putting together a program of music to be played at events representing Young Tradition Vermont\, and also completing a final project. We are currently preparing to record an EP in June with Colin McCaffrey\, and are starting to perform again as the Covid-19 situation allows. The 2020/2021 commission is led by fiddle and flute player Maeve Fairfax. The group includes fiddler Hadley Stockwell\, flute and fiddle player Anya Hardy-Mittel\, guitar\, fiddle\, and mandolin player Emerson Zelis\, and piano and accordion player Ben Munkres. We will be joined by fiddle player Romy Munkres\, the leader of the 2019/2020 youth commission. We are thrilled to be participating in this festival! The Youth Commission project has been made possible in part by support from the Nelson Family Foundation\, as well as support from Young Tradition Vermont\, family\, neighbors and mentors.
