Anne Lederman - Native Canadian Fiddle Workshop

The Indigenous Tradition in CanadaThe Indigenous First Nations, Native-Canadian fiddle tradition in Northwestern Canada is a unique blend of Scottish, French-Canadian, American and Indigenous musics.

Forged in the fur trade of the 18th and 19th centuries.

It involves sit-down clogging while playing, irregular phrasing, sometimes altered tunings and unique repertoire.

Anne will demonstrate the tradition as it happens in western Manitoba and teach one or two basic tunes.Level – Intermediate/Advanced
