Learn a Scottish Air – Jeremy Kittel

In this class, we’ll learn a gorgeous Scottish “slow air,” complete with traditional ornaments and flair, drones, ideas for variations / development, and more. We’ll learn most of it by ear, the traditional way (though rest assured, there *will* also be sheet music for reference). The “slow air” repertoire is one of the great aspects of Scottish fiddling; it’s rich and compelling for the player and listener alike. In fact, it’s so appreciated that many Scottish airs have been adopted by other fiddling styles around the world. In this class, we’ll learn at least one tune very well, and we’ll also touch upon some other Scottish slow air “greatest hits,” so that you can continue your journey after class if you like. Join us!
