We hope everyone had a fun St. Patrick's Day!

Our string students had some fiddling fun with some traditional Irish and Drinking Songs ... it's the perfect time to work on our quick bowing and furiously fast fingers.

Because fiddling tunes take a few different techniques than the classical repertoire that our students usually have in their rotation, we start working on these tunes at the beginning of February.  Learning gentle slides, triplet rhythm and beat balance, and double stop bowing . . . we just need them to jig and play simultaneously! (haha! anyone know someone who teaches Irish dancing?)
