In beginning Fid players get to know their instrument and develop strategies to learn tunes by ear.  We begin with open string songs, playing posture, and bow hold.  Students progress to Irish songs using pressing finger notes and then, to a set of Irish Polkas.  Students may stay in this section in order to hone their intonation, bowing, and facility with connecting musical phrases into tunes. You’re ready for next Fid if you love to practice your tunes every week. You’re listening to your new tunes and preparing them between classes. You’re ready for Fiddle II if you can play the following tunes smoothly from memory: Britches Full of Stitches, Peg Ryan’s Polka (Kerry Polka), and Sweeney’s Polka. If you’re taking lessons or classes somewhere else, finishing Suzuki Book One, playing scales in A and D, and comfort learning by ear are all indicators that you’re ready for Fiddle II. ==================================================

Through the joy of singing games, vocal exploration, and communal singing, children (will) naturally develop their facility with musical concepts like beat, rhythm, form, and pitch as well as musicianship skills like listening, memory, intonation, part singing, and performance. Rooted in the traditions of Irish singing, this all-ages kids class is an accessible precursor or complement to our instrument programs for young people. Exploring the first, and perhaps most integral instrument - our voice, our singing class allows young people to effectively access and develop their musicianship in a fun, engaging and welcoming way.
