Four fiddle players in a row

Spring 26 – Fiddle

Our Autumn Term Adult classes are now available for sign-up!

Here’s one of our Fiddle Tutors, Joe Hibbs, to tell you more about our Beginner Fiddle class.

The Fiddle 0 class is aimed at complete beginners who have never held a fiddle before. If you’ve never read a note of music either, then this class is for you as we’ll primarily be learning by ear. The basic instrument and bow hold will be covered, and you’ll develop a sense of musicality as you learn to play in a group. If you’ve done a small amount of violin then this class will be useful for consolidating any technique that you may have learned before too. The most important aim of the Fiddle 0 class is to have fun in a supportive environment – and hopefully be the end of the ten weeks, you’ll have a tune or two under your fingers!

Term starts in the week beginning 2nd Feb 2026, so don’t wait to sign up.🏃‍♂️
