Many historical performers know there is a connection between aurally transmitted European traditional dance music styles and early music, yet musicians interested in exploring these styles often do not know where to begin. Guided by research processes that the Berwick Fiddle Consort has developed over the past six years, this workshop offers a safe and fun space to engage with aural learning. Participants will explore practices and skills necessary for researching aural music traditions and performing aurally transmitted music in a way that honors traditional performance practices. We encourage all participants to bring an instrument (A=415) or sing along.
