Autumn 2024
at London Fiddle School
A new ‘dual’ 10-week course...
American Old Time Fiddle Tunes
with Pete Cooper
Wednesdays 7.30 - 9.00pm
from 25 September (half-term break 30 October) to 4 December
Zoom classes will take place on
Thursdays 7.30 - 9.00pm
from 26 September (half-term break 31 October) to 5 December
Pete will teach in person on Wednesday evenings at Cecil Sharp House, then on Thursday evenings give the same class from home on Zoom. You can join him for either session - or even, at no extra charge, both!
A friendly class for intermediate, new-to-folk and advanced level players, exploring the traditional 'Old Time' music of the Appalachian Mountain states of Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. Pete will teach a selection of great tunes (different from previous courses), including the bowing patterns ('bow licks') that create the music's irresistible groove. You'll receive an audio recording a day or two before each class. Pete teaches by ear during the 90-minute session, then sends written music and a video after the Thursday class. Learning by ear may seem daunting, but...
'Pete’s teaching seems to somehow highspeed and hardwire the music into the brain’
- Sheila Hill, The Guardian
Cost £125.00 (concessions £100.00)
