Pete Cooper

The Inner Life of Dance Tunes

Feel the rhythmic pulse that lies at the heart of all good dance music and bring it out in your playing. Where’s the beat? How do we convey it? In this practical workshop we’ll study the distinctive inner rhythms of hornpipes, jigs, reels and other forms, learning some great tunes in the process.

Pete Cooper brings a relaxed, good-humoured approach to his workshops and concerts alike.Pete plays, teaches, composes, records and writes about fiddle music and is director of the London Fiddle School.He performs as a member of Anglo-Old Time trio Rattle on the Stovepipe, in a duo with cellist Richard Boltonand also sings, backing himself on fiddle or mandolin.
