🎻 Connecting our Islands of Inspiration — between in‑person fiddle workshops
On Saturday, November 1st, we held a Play By Ear Scottish Fiddle Immersion Workshop in San Antonio, featuring Colin MacLeod alongside a wonderful local fiddler/violinist. Following the workshop, everyone who participated joined together for a joyful “Splash Mob”, sharing tunes at two or three locations along the San Antonio Riverwalk.
We are preparing another in‑person fiddle workshop for April next year. Until then, we are offering something special to keep everyone connected, learning, and inspired:
