Welcome to our 6th Calgary Shivering Strings weekend workshop.
This year we have five fiddle instructors and one guitar instructor. Our workshop format is that each fiddle instructor will provide one tune for each playing level. The levels are Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
When registering participants will self-identify and select their appropriate playing level.
Note: this workshop is not suitable for raw beginners.
Once you have registered, you will receive a link to all the music and mp3s. It is
important that campers become familiar with the tunes. Time in the class will be
spent perfecting the tunes, working on bowings, and developing the musicality of the tunes.
In addition to classes, we will have jamming sessions each day.
On Friday evening is registration and the Instructors Concert
Our acoustic accompaniment class will feature Tynan Groves teaching guitar.
The guitar class will focus on chord progressions, playing backup
and ways to contribute to the music when you are not playing the melody.
In order to sign up for the guitar accompaniment class, you must be able to play simple major and minor chords on your instrument and be comfortable with chord changes.
