This summer’s fiddle camp will introduce you to playing bluegrass fiddle.  We will have fun blazing away on some standard tunes, learning licks, how to start or enter with the melody, learn how to jam, be introduced to other bluegrass instruments, and oh yes, sing leads and bluegrass harmonies which really helps fiddlers. We might even learn some stuff about music along the way.  What you need for this camp: 1-2 years of playing, be able to read music in 1^st position, your own instrument, and some calluses on the fingers because of all the playing we are going to do.  Viola players also welcome (be ready for some treble clef).
