Instructors - Resources - PDF Brochure

Now in its thirteenth year, fiddlekids is a unique, fun-filled summer day camp for children, devoted to traditional fiddle music. At fiddlekids, bluegrass, Appalachian, Celtic, jazz, klezmer, and other traditional fiddle styles are explored through tunes, songs, dance, and art.

fiddlekids  welcomes violin students ages 7-14. We request that applicants have played violin a minimum of one year prior to camp. Children learn in small groups, with an emphasis on ear training. They will be introduced to theory, basic composition, harmony, and improvisation in a fun and practical manner. Your children will learn from each of our experienced instructors. In addition, art and dance classes are offered in small, age-based groups. These classes serve to provide enrichment and thematic connections with the music.
