We have had students from 8 to 87, at all levels of playing. Some have
never held a fiddle in their hands before. Some are contest players. Want to learn more
tunes? Want to learn to play better? Our instructors can help you with both. I went to fiddle camp - by Loretta 2001 pictures.... Webb Acheson wrote a tune called Bill
