It’s nice to see a mentoring situation\u00a0continue after the formal Traditional Arts Apprenticeship<\/a> has ended. Irish fiddler Laurel Martin <\/a>was awarded an apprenticeship in September 2010 to work with home-schooled teen, Natayla Kay Trudeau. Beyond the learning of new tunes, special\u00a0emphasis was put on\u00a0gaining an understanding of the older regional fiddle\u00a0styles\u00a0associated with\u00a0County Clare — a style Martin herself was\u00a0taught by\u00a0acclaimed Clare-born fiddler Seamus Connolly<\/a>, in an apprenticeship more than 20 years ago.\u00a0Trudeau also learned about\u00a0fiddlers who were also known for their compositions, including tunesmiths Junior Crehan, Paddy O’Brien, Sean Ryan, and Ed Reavey.<\/p>\n

By June 2011, Trudeau’s\u00a0progress was audible; not only had she gained\u00a0respect for the authenticity of regional\u00a0fiddle styles, but her\u00a0technique,\u00a0musicality, and presence on stage\u00a0were surprising for one so young.\u00a0The two took part in a\u00a0 Lowell Folklife Series concert <\/a>back in June at the Merrimack Repertory Theatre. Their music enlivened the stepdancing of\u00a0 Kieran Jordan <\/a>and Kevin Doyle, along with their respective apprentices, Emerald Rae and Nicole Leblanc.<\/p>\n

And though the formal MCC-funded\u00a0apprenticeship with Laurel ended in June, Trudeau’s\u00a0education as a budding musician\u00a0has just begun. She will perform on December 12 at the Westford Museum\u00a0<\/a> and will join Martin on stage at Club Passim <\/a>(also on December 12) and the Java Room Coffee House<\/a> in Chelmsford (February 11). Soon after, Martin and Trudeau are\u00a0headed to Ireland\u00a0for a week of seisuns, performances, and ceilidhs — a veritable immersion in the world of\u00a0Irish fiddling.\u00a0Lucky girl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
