I wondered if you can help. I can do most of the notes but want to understand how to actually play, understand and feel all the tunes that I adore. I also want to expand my technique and repertoire by ear without resorting to the dots. (Sorry but the dots are learned by a different part of my brain which forgets stuff). It occured to me that intensive exposure to tuition would be a start. I have a couple of weeks in the summer and wondered if any of you could recommend a traditional music school offering fiddle tuition in the UK or Ireland in July or August. I would really like to hear of your experinces - good or bad; or any recommendations. I am sort of ok on the violin and understand music a bit.

I hope you can help.
