Schoolhouse Fiddle Workshop

The Old Avoca (Nebraska) Schoolhouse will be hosting a Fiddle Workshop with Daniel Slosberg on Sunday, July 31, 2011, from 1 PM - 3 PM. Daniel Slosberg has been playing fiddle since the age of five. Since 1999, he has been performing as Pierre Cruzatte (the fiddler on the Lewis & Clark expedition) in schools, libraries, museums, and historical sites throughout the United States. During the fiddle workshop, Slosberg will discuss and demonstrate and teach Metis fiddling (which includes tapping your feet at the same time), how to play for dancers, etc. This workshop is for fiddlers and string players of any age and experience.
