Your kid will learn the fundamentals of fiddle from the best in the business and will have some great networking opportunities, too.

Texas Fiddle Clinic organiser Wes Barlow hopes that this annual event will inspire the next generation of Texas fiddlers.

“This clinic is about more than learning tunes — it's about becoming a well-rounded musician,” says Wes Barlow, Founder of Texas Fiddle Clinic. “We want students to leave with the tools to walk onto any stage and know how to play as part of a band.”

If you play the violin or fiddle, then you already know that there are some great camps across Texas and the U.S. But how many are taught by the best fiddlers actively recording and touring today? Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity. Get more details and get signed up right here.
