GFW Playing Together – Wednesday Warm Up
Which Class?
We have adjusted our Fiddle classes, split by skill levels to offer either Online or Face to Face classes.
Don’t overthink it. Glance down the bullet points on the class descriptions and try and gauge which level seems to fit with where you’d like to be in 12-18 months.
Which Tutor?
Student numbers is the key factor in hiring tutors. Tutors own circumstances during Covid-19 will also impact which tutor will be available at your level. We are piloting some face to face classes in College this term and keeping online available in every skill level. It is possible you will not get your favourite tutor, as we will hire tutors to match student numbers. We can say for certain that you will get one of Scotland’s top tutors. Please support GFW in this tricky time and sign up for your class now.

PLEASE NOTE
It is not expected that students will automatically move up a class level each year/term. Students should remain in the same class until they feel ready to move up to the next level. Speak to either your own tutor or a Senior Tutor for advice on which level would suit you best. We ask that Students refrain from moving class after week 3 of term to minimise disruption to other learners.
