Event

Darol Anger Workshop: Contemporary Fiddling * Susquehanna Folk (SFMS)

Using techniques such as call & response, direct example, and written handouts, Darol will discuss and demonstrate principles of improvisation and give useful musical tools for better improvising in any musical style.

He will demonstrate ways to deal with unfamiliar and weird keys, methods for improving intonation, and take participants through a step-by-step method of playing rhythm fiddle using his techniques used with the Turtle Island String Quartet and other groups.

He will analyze and discuss blues changes and an expanded concept of the Blues scale, the basis of modern roots and pop music. He will teach a tune from his new book of fiddle tunes published by Hal Leonard, and demonstrate some bowing and phrasing techniques, all with his characteristic quirky humor and good fellowship.

Intermediate to advanced players of any age will derive the most benefit, but adult beginners are welcomed and will find much useful information.
