General overview

The guiding principle behind these workshops is that at the end of the session, participants should be:

• motivated to continue working on the subjects explored;
  
• inspired and curious to investigate further;
  
• in possession of sufficient knowledge and material resources to continue self-directed study.

Workshops are both intensive and participatory. They are also a lot of fun - presented in an informal, accessible and inclusive atmosphere in the belief that this provides the most
conducive and enjoyable learning environment. Workshops can be provided on the
following basis:

• structured courses of between 3 and 15 sessions for either fiddle or mixed
  instruments, delivered as
  • weekly courses
    
  • residential weekend or week-long courses
    
  • one-day workouts;
    
• one-off workshops for either fiddle or mixed instruments aimed in particular at
  festivals and school/college/university visits.

Workshops can be tailored to suit musicians of mixed abilities and backgrounds, specific
abilities (from beginner to professional) and particular backgrounds (e.g. folk, classical,
jazz, rock, pop &c.). Promoters and organizers should contact Stewart to discuss details.
