The Sandbridge Fiddle Retreat - ​The Sandfiddlers of Sandbridge!
In-Person and Zooming

For the last 10+ years at Sandbridge, I have given informal fiddle lessons during the dulcimer weeks. We now hold a mini-Sandbridge fiddle retreat!! 
WHEN: Tuesday April 11, 2023 - Saturday April 15, 2023. Arrive Tuesday any time after 11:00 a.m. First session is Tuesday mid-afternoon (3:00-5:00 p.m.); Wed - Thu from 9:30-12, 2-4:30; jamming and optional review sessions in the evening. 
Fri 9:30-12 class; jamming Friday afternoon. Check out on Saturday morning at 10 a.m.  We do a lot of jamming!
 
WHAT:  A 3.5 day retreat for intermediate old-time fiddle!  Bowing patterns; left-hand techniques; adding chords; applying chord theory to learn and process tunes; simple backup ideas; repertoire; altered tunings; lots of jamming and much more!
WHO: Intermediate level fiddle players – typically 12-16 players (spouses welcome). 
WHERE: Sandbridge VA – just south of Virginia Beach.
LODGING: We will stay in a 12-bedroom oceanfront house (See Oceanfront Villa) and a 6-bedroom oceanfront house next door (See Beachy Keen). Most participants will stay in private rooms but there are some shared rooms available.
CHEF: We may have a chef if enrollment is sufficient. Our chef prepares meals for Tuesday through Thursday dinner. All food is covered by the workshop except for Friday night. We usually either go out or do carryout.
