This is a very popular tune and Melissa will be teaching the swung version as played by Martin Hayes. For Level 3 she will teach Feed the Ducks – a brilliant Irish jig by Kieran Leahy which makes use of all 4 strings of the fiddle thanks to some beautiful arpeggio patterns which roll so naturally from one string to the next. \nStewart will take Level 2 on a further exploration of Dm\, with a look at James Hill’s\, A Country Lass. With level 3 he will continue the recent French Canadian theme with a fabulous crooked tune\, La Belle Catherine – such a popular tune for sessions and great fun to play. \nThe tune for the Live Teaching call\, where we are building a core repertoire with a chance to learn these tunes by ear\, will be a wonderful waltz\, Wals voor Polle by Wim Poesen. We will also take some time to revise the wonderful hornpipe by Robin Dunn\, The Summerhill Hornpipe. \nRegistration for the block is £59 per person including the Live Teaching element\, or £47 without (resources\, video tutorials and Fiddle Practice Calls are included) Please email or use the contact form for with any queries.

To book your place\, please use the Online Booking Form. Absolute Beginners and Level 1 will resume when we can meet again face to face.   \n\nIn this block for Level 2\, Melissa will be continuing the D minor/one flat theme with one of the great Scottish slow airs\, Archibald Macdonald of Keppoch – a real stunner of a tune and a valuable addition to any musician’s repertoire. The great Scottish fiddler Johnny Cunningham famously recorded it on his solo CD ‘Fair Warning’ and it is a fabulous vehicle to reinforce the finger positions required for D minor. For Level 3\, Melissa is bringing something more recent – one of Ed Reavy’s finest compositions\, In Memory of Coleman. This tune is in G minor but requires no E-flats – an opportunity to expand the tonality available to us with these finger positions.\n\n Stewart is bringing a very recently composed English jig to Level 2 – Stay at Home Jig by Becki Driscoll. She and her partner Nick Wyke are two of English music’s finest champions not only as performers but also teachers and composers. Apart from its unfortunate topicality\, this tune is great for looking at English jig bowing patterns and NEFS is delighted to have the opportunity to introduce those who haven’t come across Becki and Nick to their music. Level 3 will be exploring the joys of the French-Canadian repertoire with a session favourite and Québécois classic commonly known as Old French Reel – loads of joyous energy and lots of fun to play.\n\n The French-Canadian theme will continue into the Live Teaching with an opportunity to learn Rejean Brunet’s immensely popular jig Maison de Glace. and we will also revisit that English classic Bonny Kate.
