The course caters for players of all ages and standards, although a minimum of Grade 3 is recommended. It deals with fiddle techniques, bowing and ornamentation and gives an insight into the history of fiddle playing and the lives of famous exponents of this art.

Tuition is provided on an individual and group lesson basis.

The tutor for the course will be Sharon Hassan
