Spring I: Erik Hoffman

Join Erik Hoffman on an exciting journey through a wide variety of fiddle tunes. Every week, we'll learn a new tune, or review an old one. We’ll then discuss the theory behind it to increase our understanding of the construction of the tune and the way it maps onto the fingerboard. We’ll cover anything from reels, jigs, and waltzes to lesnotos and rags. Students contribute to the repertoire choices. This class is for players who already have some facility on the fiddle, know the names of the notes, and either have some knowledge of how to read music or the ability to learn by ear with visual cues.

Erik Hoffman

In 1987, Erik took up the fiddle. Three weeks later on a dare, he competed in the Santa Barbara Old Time Fiddle Contest and won third place in beginning fiddle in a field of three. The following year he placed first in intermediate fiddle. In 1990, Erik came in third in advanced traditional singing.

Traveling all over the state, Erik has become well known from Arcata to the Bay Area to San Diego. He has toured the United States extensively, and has been staff at a number of festivals, including the Bay Area Country Dance Society's American Week, Family Week, Spring Weekend (Monte Toyon), CD*NY's Hudson Guild, Sacramento's Echo Summit, California Traditional Music Society's Solstice and New Year's festivals, San Luis Obispo radio KCBX's Live Oak Music Festival, New Mexico Folk Music & Dance's Memorial Day Weekend, and Seattle's Slugs at Sunrise Music and Dance Camp.

Erik loves the spirit and joy that is passed along with traditional music and dance, and loves to share his enthusiasm.
