American Roots Weekend 2024 : COUNTDOWN!
It's time to meet the teachers of the Workshops
We're so happy to welcome Jane Rothfield for the first time : she will lead the fiddle workshop!

Janie’s Fiddle Class is for fiddlers who can play at a medium-faster tempo, are looking to get to the next level in their playing AND want to add a variety of exciting new tunes (from VA, Kentucky, North Carolina and a few of Janie’s own original tunes) to their repertoire! Janie will focus on the nuances in bowing and rhythm as well as techniques to improve your tone, drive, creativity and musicality-and above all how to have more FUN with old time music.

Time will also be spent learning how to play “out of the melody” using melodic variations, harmony and chords, singing while fiddling AND how to play with a clawhammer banjo player (Janie is a great banjo player too).
