2008 Augusta Mini-Class Description


Week 1
Mini-Class
Cajun Fiddle From Scratch

Michelle Kaminsky


This is the class for those who want to try the fiddle but haven’t gotten to it yet. You’ll learn the basics, such as how to hold the bow, and get a good sound, where to put your fingers, and how to tune it.  Hopefully, you’ll be inspired to keep right on playing after Augusta! One of the nice things about starting off with Cajun fiddling is learning how to play along in a jam by using a very simple rhythm backup.
