Description: Learning to play the violin can be a fun and rewarding experience for a person of any age! Come explore this beautiful instrument in a relaxed, supportive setting. This course is open to people with no prior experience on the violin who are interested in learning the basics of the instrument through exploring folk music or "fiddle." No previous musical background is required, nor is knowledge of reading music, as tunes will be taught by ear, with some introduction to music theory and reading music. Sheet music will be available if the student desires. Recordings of each class will be sent home weekly. Participants should bring their own violin (rental information will print on registration receipt) and adjustable shoulder rest to the first class. Instructor: Pamela Margon

Notes: Participants should bring their own violin (or rent one - $25 for the month from RL Ray Violins) and adjustable shoulder rest (KUN, Everest, or FOM brands, or similar) to the first class. Additional recommended supplies (optional): Handheld recording device (phone or otherwise), notebook, pencil. Instructor: Pamela Margon, www.olyfiddle.com
