Course Outline:
In this 4 part video series, Celtic cellist Natalie Haas teaches us a Gaelic reel from Scotland’s Puirt A Beul “mouth music” tradition: Ille Bhig.
​

Along with learning the reel, Natalie will teach you:
  • left-hand ornamentation and bowing ideas
  • an accompaniment focusing on rhythmic technique and chord voicings
  • the creation of bass lines

If you are interested in taking online lessons with her, you can sign up at www.stringmasters.com.

About Natalie Haas: Natalie is one of the most sought-after cellists playing traditional music today. She and Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser have toured as a duo for over 20 years, wowing audiences at festivals and concerts worldwide with their unique sound. Their first album together, Fire & Grace, was awarded Best Album of the Year in the Scots Trad Music Awards 2004. As a studio musician, Natalie has been a guest artist on over 75 albums, including those of Cape Breton fiddler Natalie MacMaster, Irish greats Altan, Solas, and Liz Carroll, and Americana icon Dirk Powell.

A graduate of the Juilliard School, where she studied with cellist Fred Sherry, Natalie discovered the cello at age nine. In addition to having extensive classical music training, she is accomplished in a broad array of fiddle genres. Her music journey found purpose when she fell in love with Celtic music at the Valley of the Moon Scottish Fiddling School at age 11. Inspired and encouraged by director Fraser, she began to investigate the cello's potential for rhythmic accompaniment to fiddle tunes, and to this day, the two continue to resurrect and reinvent the cello's historic role in Scottish music.

Natalie's skills as an educator make her one of the most in demand teachers at fiddle camps across the globe. She also teaches privately, in workshops, and at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she is an active member of the traditional music scene.
