Are you ready for a fun summer of fiddlin’? We hope
so! Get ready to play, improvise, and compose your
own music as well as perform some of the great fiddle
tunes from around the world that people have been
playing for hundreds of years!
Fiddle Club as been transformed from a 3 person
group in 2000 that met intermittently in the summer to an
over 40 member group with age and ability ranges the
span from beginner to adult
professionals. What an exciting turn of events!
Fiddle Club has developed into a year round group
which will include rehearsals, sectionals, lessons, small
and large ensemble work, special guests and clinicians,
day camps and tons of other
opportunities. Fiddle Club performed on the main stage
of the Fox Valley Jazz Festival (Menasha, WI) in 2005,
EAA AirVenture
Christmas in the Air 2006, at churches, and for other
events
throughout the Fox Valley.
Fiddle Club is a student-guided organization advised
and directed by a team of musicians who have a passion
for music and the combined teaching and performing
experience of over 50 years. We will focus on
techniques for musical performance and fiddlin’ as well
as the introduction of “Jam Camp” sessions into our
regular rehearsal time. “Jam Camp” is designed to
create a no pressure environment for which musicians
can work on and be coached on improvisation and other
“jammin’” skills.
Fiddle Club is not a replacement for your private
lessons!
