Fiddle Workshop with Jamie Laval, 11:00am-1:00pm Sunday February 28, 2010. Jamie Laval, one of the premier celtic fiddlers on the international music scene, will lead this workshop of interest to students at all levels, beginning to advanced. He'll teach the class primarily by ear, but sheet music of tunes and bowing styles will be given for home study. We will encourage a fun, supportive learning environment in which no-one will be singled out. Audio recorders welcome. Registration is $25 if received by February 21. After that, registration is $30. The workshop will be held in a private home in North Seattle. Please contact David Perasso at 206-417-0440 or perasso@cruzio.com for registration and directions. And don’t miss Jamie’s concert at Phinney Neighborhood Center, Saturday February 27th — sponsored by Seattle Folklore Society. For reservations see http://www.seafolklore.org/folksche.html
