Join one of Scotland’s finest and most engaging fiddle players for a workshop for players at an intermediate and advanced level. Ryan will focus on how you bring a tune to life and how to take notes on a page and make it your own. He’ll teach how to not only play a tune, but play with it! He’ll showcase a couple of tunes by ear and talk about some different ways it could be changed and little things he might do with them personally.
