Tune Class - Intro to Old-Time Fiddling w/ Rinn Netherton
We’ve redesigned our Tune Classes to better meet the needs of folks who wish to build up their repertoire and confidence in an instructional setting. Tune Classes are offered in a series of three sessions that occur once per week with the same instructor.
This November, join Rinn Netherton for our first Tune Class Series. Rinn will teach a simple melody along with techniques such as Nashville shuffle, rhythmic fillers and double stops to give your fiddlin’ that old-time feel.
This Tune Class Series is best suited for beginning to intermediate players with at least 2 years experience on their instrument (you should be able to play a fiddle tune all the way through at a normal tempo).
Listen to the tune a few times to help you prepare for class here. Bring your instrument and - if it helps you learn - a recording device (cellphone) or a notebook and pencil.
Dates: November 3rd, 10th, and 17th
Time: 3:00 - 4:00 pm
Location: St. Louis String Collective; 3532a Greenwood Blvd
Registration closes Monday October 28th
We will be filming each class and the videos will be made available to participants at the end of the session.
