TEACHING: Trick Fiddle Routine
Members of the Koehler-Foisy & Kelly families performing the trick called “the 6 headed Fiddle Monster!”
EXTRA EXTRA!!
I am calling string players — all ages and levels — (fiddle, violin, viola, cello & bass) to join me and Daniel Kelly on stage for some Trick & Fancy fiddling on the tune “Boil ‘em Cabbage ‘down!”
WORKSHOP & PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITY
This year I am teaching several “Trick Fiddle Workshops” and inviting the participants to JOIN KOEHLER & KELLY on stage during our performances in New York State in Mumford, Watertown, Cranberry Lake, Plattsburgh and Canton! I thought I’d offer a whirlwind VIDEO LESSON with TIPS & TECHNIQUES so that players could start “fiddling around” with the routine before we meet in person!
In *Mumford and *Plattsburgh, NY I will be teaching formal Trick Fiddling workshops (60-90 minutes) where we will learn this routine and more! In Watertown, Cranberry Lake and Canton, NY I am inviting area string players to meet me before my performance for about 20 minutes so we can informally walk through the routine. (Free!) We will practice it again during the intermission and perform in the 2nd half of my show.
