Fiddle | Kenny Kosek | Advanced | Period 1 | Week 5 (August 3-7. 2026)
I’ll be teaching solos from Vassar Clements, Kenny Baker and Jimmy Buchanan among others. We will look at advanced double stopping, especially using waltzes, playing in the key of B and B flat and some of my favorite licks. The ability to read is a plus (I will provide written music) but not a requirement. Check out more about Kenny’s class in the video below!
