      Intensive: Fiddle - Tone, Groove & Expression w/ John Showman 2 pm - 5 pm ticket

      Use Better Bowing Technique to Increase Your Tone, Groove and Expression. My goal is to help other players and students get the most out of their bowing. With better use of your right arm, you will gain a facility on the instrument that will take you beyond notes and licks and into the world of phrasing. It’s a two-pronged approach: firstly, we will look at bow path and how to keep you motion fluid and easy; and secondly, we will free up your playing from the tyrany of note sequences and learn to centre and ground the rhythm of the tunes and songs in our bodies. In this way, we can play fiddle independently of that groove without losing it’s feel. This opens up a world of possibilites for expression and phrasing. Skill Level: Intermediate-Advanced

Ages 13-18 Feb 21 & 22, 2025 10am-2pm (Maple) JAMz3 is an opportunity for high school musicians to meet and play with peers in a supported, guided environment. Participants will be matched with peers into bands, and work with adult mentors to put together a culminating performance. Interest or experience with bluegrass is not necessary, as this is not a bluegrass-specific program. (Those who are interested in bluegrass specifically will be matched with peers and mentors who share that interest.) All acoustic musicians are welcome, including those who play winds or brass instruments, or are primarily vocalists. We’ll also explore basic improvisation skills, as well as the fundamentals of using stage sound equipment, so your sound engineer help you perform your best. New this year: we’ll meet for 4 hours each on Friday and Saturday, rather than having one all-day session. This allows participants to make the most of their complementary weekend festival pass to Wintergrass’ other workshops and world-class performances. JAMz3 is led by Kat Bula, a prolific fiddler, guitarist, songwriter and music educator. She will be supported by a team of other equally fabulous teaching artists TBA.

              This program is designed for students who are experienced bowed string musicians in middle school and high school. Students will participate in a day-long orchestra clinic which includes rehearsals Q & As with our collaborative artists, workshops with our WGYO Faculty, sectionals, lunch, and dinner. This year we are thrilled to be collaborating with Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas, American Patchwork Quartet, and The Fretless! The Wintergrass Youth Orchestra is led by Dr. Christopher Hanson and Dr. Renata Bratt. Both Dr. Hanson and Dr. Bratt bring decades of experience as string pedagogues, composers, and performers to the WIntergrass Youth Orchestra. This is truly a unique opportunity to learn from and perform with extraordinary professional artists. All students are strongly encouraged to attend as much of the festival as possible when not rehearsing or performing. The chance to work with such distinguished faculty and artists is priceless, but we encourage every student to "pay what they can." With the the 4-day weekend student pass ($45), lunch and dinner ($40), and general operating costs, the average price per student is $135. Wintergrass is committed to removing all financial barriers for students that want to participate in the orchestra. Again, each student is asked to pay what they can when registering.
