  • Celtic Week, July 8-14, 2018 7:30-8:30 Breakfast Intro to Int
    10 8-14 The musical traditions of Scotland and Ireland, possessing separate, distinctive personalities, nonetheless share a common heritage. Many of western North Carolina’s early white settlers were either Highlanders or ‘Ulster Scots’ – the Scots-Irish. Our Celtic Week acknowledges that varied heritage with a program that features some of the best from those traditions. Celtic Week expands this year with new classes in storytelling and myth, seven new staff members, and a lineup that features present or former members of the supergroups Lúnasa, Ossian, Solas, Dervish, The House Band, Skylark, Battlefield Band, Moving Cloud, Comas, Slide, Runa and Cherish the Ladies, plus the return of some old friends we haven’t seen in a while and an outstanding group of veteran staff members. The week will feature classes, potluck sessions, concerts, jams and dances. For those taking any of the style classes for fiddle, it is recommended that students should play at an Intermediate level: students should have mastered beginning skills, be able to tune their instruments, keep time, play the principal scales cleanly, and know how to play a few tunes with confidence. Fiddle classes are double-length, and students may takeeither intermediate or advanced classes, but not both. The uilleann pipes class is also double-length. Fiddlers who plan on taking both Irish and Scottish fiddle should consider their stamina and the available practice time before registering for two daily 2 ½ hour classes. For novices, “Fiddle for Complete Beginners” will cover the basics, two sections of “Fiddle Technique” will address technical problems for players of all levels, and “Intro to Celtic Fiddling” will provide beginners with a repertoire of simple tunes, while “Tinwhistle for Complete Beginners” will provide whistle players with a similar repertoire.
