Are you a band or orchestra member looking for a new experience? Try Flute & Fiddle Camp! During this course wind players and orchestra members (violin, viola, cello, bass) will have the opportunity to learn the basics of traditional Irish music (as well as some Scottish and American bluegrass). Students will learn jigs, reels and airs as well as basic ornamentation and performance practice.  Woodwind experience is recommended, but brass players with two years experience may also participate on Irish tin whistle (provided).

Camp hours will include sectional and full ensemble rehearsals as well as listening to performances by famous musicians.

Friday evening will be a concert to celebrate the campers’ accomplishments.
