Immersive tuition in the Traditional Arts
Small-group workshops in fiddle, and song that let you work on your own musicianship while taking part in the wider Festival.
Tutors will tailor the teaching level to the group but we recommend that workshoppers are at an intermediate level or above – sorry we can’t provide beginners instrumental workshops.
