We have begun the year in great style, with a delightful Arrangement Techniques course in February, and a very productive and enjoyable Fiddle Technique course in March, both at the beautiful Rydal Hall.

Next we have an Advanced Fiddle Technique course, which is an intensive course designed to further improve the technique of already proficient players, whilst expanding their repertoire, and enjoying the chance to share tunes in two evening sessions. Then in June we have a Repertoire for Mixed Instruments course, which will focus on the great tunes of the North East of England, both old and new. Aimed at players of intermediate level and above, this course at Shepherds Dene will be a chance to expand your repertoire, and look in depth at the different styles found in the great wealth of material from this region.
