If you have any queries, please e mail jill@fiddlelessons.co.uk or ring 01275 847909

Spring Term 2012 - 4th January - 25th April 2012 - Click here or scroll down

The group is open to all melody instruments and you can come at any time between 6.30 and 9.30 and stay for as little or as long as you like - the fee will be £8 per person. 
6.30 - 7.30 - slow to suit absolute beginners
7.30 - 8.30 -  learning a new tune by ear - although music and tab will be available as a reminder 
8.30 - 9.30 - playing tunes of your choice around the table - should be ideal for returning players - if you come earlier you will be able to learn some new tunes but the pace will be a slower than the Tuesday group.

This page is primarily designed to help players who are coming along to the Wednesday music club. 

Each week the names of the tunes we covered the previous week will be posted and you can then go to the Tunes A-Z Index to hear an audio recording and print out the written music.  If you would like it in an other format, eg tab, fingering or abc, please e mail me.

Usually the following week's tune will also be posted, so you can listen to it before coming along.  This is merely a guide and starting point to playing the tune.  It is better for you to listen to the tune until you are able to lilt it rather than trying to play it before the group.
