Join Vicki for five days of nyckelharpa playing. Workshops will include mostly Swedish music, ensemble playing and some optional technique sessions. This course will run alongside Jonny’s Scandinavian Accordion week and we will come together in the evenings. For more information contact Vicki Swan 07721 519719. The accordion course is now full. All participants have been contacted with extra details and information, if you’ve not had any contact from Vicki – get in touch!
Who’s it For?
Nyckelharpa players wanting to immerse themselves in a week of playing Swedish music. Also open to fiddle players (any technique work will be aimed at nyckelharpa players as Vicki doesn’t play fiddle – but will be suitable for either instrument).
