FAIS DO-DO: Intro to Cajun Music (6-week session for advanced beginners/intermediate players): Sunday afternoons 4-5pm Feb. 3- March 10, 2013
Come learn the basics of Cajun fiddling in a supportive group session. You’ll learn some great tunes and get a solid start swimming in the bayou of bowings, blues ornamentation, improvisation and back-up fiddling which make Cajun fiddling so distinctive. Tunes will be taught by ear, but both recordings and sheet music will also be provided. This is a great way to increase your repertory and be ready to jump in on the Portland Cajun Jam Session (a free Cajun music house party held third Sunday afternoons of the month).
Dates: Sundays, Feb. 3, 10, 17, 24, Mar. 3 and 10
Time: 4-5pm
Where: my music studio in SE Portland (a cozy room with great ambiance!)
Cost: $100-130 sliding scale (pay what you can afford)
