Description: How and when to lift the uilleann pipes chanter off the knee, and how to manipulate its tone and dynamics to create specific piping effects (including 'pops', 'barks', and 'swells') tastefully and in tune, and thereby make your playing more colourful, more exciting, and more musical.
Liz Knowles - The Long and Short of Bowing
Description: Using archival recordings and modern recordings of fiddlers as well as demonstration, we will discuss the various ways to articulate both with short and long bows to create and imitate different styles and types of tunes.
