New England has a rich history of traditional music, which can be heard in contra dance halls throughout the region and beyond. There are jigs, reels, waltzes, and other tunes from Ireland, Scotland, France, Canada and elsewhere. In this course, for advanced beginner to intermediate players of instruments such as fiddle, guitar, mandolin, flute, and others, we’ll learn some of these melodies and work on playing them as a group at a relaxed tempo. Although playing by ear is encouraged, music stands will be provided. Bring your instrument and the book New England Fiddler's Repertoire, Third Edition. Instructors: Bob Phillipps & Thom Roach
