Award winning Red Hen Stringband fiddler, tune composer and teacher Jane
Rothfield will teach an intermediate-advanced fiddle workshop for
fiddlers who can easily learn a tune by ear. She will focus on bowing,
rhythm, tone and musicality with an emphasis on how to learn tunes more
easily, quickly and make them come alive! Several tunes will be taught,
in conjunction with David Kiphuths banjo class with a group jam at the
end! Recording or video devices STRONGLY ENCOURAGED!
Red Hen
Stringband banjo player and teacher extraordinaire, "Lonesome" David
Kiphuth, will teach an intermediate Clawhammer Banjo Class for students
who already play in the clawhammer style and are comfortable learning in
a group setting. He will review left and right hand techniques with a
focus on the Round Peak Style and will help students learn how to "fancy
up" tunes. David will teach several tunes and the class will join the
fiddle workshop class for a group jam at the end! Handout/Tablature
will be available-recording or video devices STRONGLY ENCOURAGED!
Jane and David will be joined by fellow Red Hen Stringband guitarists
Allan Carr and Linda Schrade to round out the workshop/ensemble back up
work.

nice also). Please forward your name and email to Janet Steucek at folkie43@sbcglobal.net if interested. We will be in touch with you if

Farmer's Market
We had a great turnout at our Sept. 16th jam which was held on a Friday. Next jam will be Tues. Oct. 4th.
Janet & I invited Peter and Mike to join us at the Hill-Stead Museum Farmer's Market on Sunday. Great time and it was fun to play music for the wonderful shoppers. We had a few people playing the limberjacks and an elderly lady tried out the spoons. She was pretty good at it!
Thanks, Mike, for the video clip.
