This year, a revised version of Book I was also issued. Monthly meetings in the Greater Washington area, usually second Sundays, begin with a workshop taught by Scottish fiddler Elke Baker, a former National Champion and a nationally recognized teacher of Scottish Fiddling. New tunes are taught by ear and from written music. We take a break for a potluck dinner , and follow it with a jam session . All levels of musicians are welcome.
All instruments are welcome.
Beginners will find the workshop useful, and advanced players will enjoy trading tunes at the session. Each workshop focuses on a theme. The Fiddle Club sponsors events including occasional workshops with guest fiddlers, performances at festivals and dances , concerts and fiddling competitions. The Fiddle Club has performed at the Washington Folk Festival, the Oatlands Celtic Festival, the Virginia Scottish Games, Southern Maryland Celtic Festival, and the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. Fiddle Club members receive discounts to special events.
