Randy Elmore's 3-Day Fiddle Workshop In Wisconsin August 28-30, 2009

Workshop Schedule    Registration Form     Back Home

In Randy's first Wisconsin workshop (September 2008), intermediate-to-advanced students enjoyed intensive classes in theory, swing, old-time and contest fiddling as well as 10 hours of personal instruction. Classes are held in the historic Monches Mill House, a classic B&B on the picturesque Oconomowoc River with a tennis court, hot tub and canoeing.

Rooms and plenty of space for camping are available at the Mill House. There will be jamming after a Saturday night concert, and at any other available times. See the Registration Form and the Workshop Schedule for additional information and sign up soon: August 1 st is the registration deadline.

This year we are adding a bass class taught by Mark Hembree, a former Bill Monroe “Blue Grass Boy” and longtime recording artist.

On Saturday night, Randy will do a short performance, and the students will have a chance to perform individually or in groups. Afterwards: Let the fun and jamming begin!

Friday, August 28 – Plan to arrive by 5pm at Monches Mill House , Hwy E, W301 N9430, Hartland WI 53029. If you send in your registration, we will send you detailed directions. (Mapquest and Google Maps don't work for this country location.) There will be an opening class from 5-7:30 pm followed by jamming and just relaxing at the Mill House. Randy usually teaches some Texas Tunes, Swing Tunes, and a little bit of theory. You will love his approach, he is always well prepared. Don't be worried about not being the greatest fiddler in the world. You will meet lots of new musical friends. The bass classes will follow the same schedule as the fiddle classes.

Saturday, August 29 - The morning class will last from 9-11:30am, followed by lunch wherever you want to go: picnics on the lawn, in the canoe or on the “forbidden porch”! You can also walk up to Ox and Cat's Sport Bar for a decent lunch.

At 1:30pm, the afternoon class will start and last until about 4:30pm. You will be able to get individual instruction if so needed.

Randy always has a lot of good tales and recollections to go along with the tunes you will be learning.

Sunday, August 30 – The last class will be from 10am – 12pm and then you're free to be on your way. Hope you all will carry some very interesting new musical thoughts and experiences home with you .To many this workshop will be a musical awakening and you will approach your fiddling with a brand new perspective.
