workshops + camps

Whenever the members of the Fiddle Tune Project head out on the road, they look for an opportunity to not only play these wonderful John Hartford tunes, but teach them as well. All workshops will teach tunes from the recently discovered collection of John Hartford's original music, as well as a deep dive into John Hartford's songwriting style and an exploration of his infamous Windows Exercise which is all about learning to get creative and improvise.
