FiddleStar Camps for 2009
Megan Lynch sent along details about her two 2009 FiddleStar instructional camps, held in Ridge Top, TN – just north of Nashville.
The adult camp is scheduled for April 30-May 9 and, in addition to Megan, will feature legendary fiddler Bobby Hicks as guest instructor. Stephen Mougin will offer a vocal workshop over this same weekend, included in the camp tuition.
The youth camp will run June 29-July 3 with Daniel Carwile assisting with the teaching chores.
Rates are available for on or off-site registration, and there is a special rate for parents to stay on-site during the youth camp.
