As Sam Sweeney’s course has sold out (and as it’ll be nearly Christmas!) we’re expanding the course and have invited Miranda Rutter to run the same course in tandem. Most modules will be taught in separate groups but some will be shared. Drawing on their many years of teaching together, you can come and learn your fiddle essentials from two of the most experienced educators in folk music!

Book your place on Miranda's course here;
