9:30am: Absolute Beginner’s Fiddle Workshop
This workshop is aimed at absolute beginners and those who have had a few lessons in the past but
need a solid review of fundamentals. You’ll need to come with an instrument in playable condition. If
you have questions about whether your fiddle is fit, or if you need some help finding one, contact the
program leader.
Workshop participants will learn the basics, including instrument care, tuning, posture, bow hold,
fingering, scales, active listening, learning by ear, and more. No matter what kind of fiddle music
you’re interested in, the fundamentals are the same!
No previous experience is required. This workshop is aimed at the adult learner’s attention span, but
kids 12 and older are welcome.
The workshop will be taught by Park Ranger Marcianne O’Day. Marcianne learned to fiddle from her
grandfather, starting at the age of seven. She has a minor in Bluegrass, Old-Time, and Country
