Increase awareness, appreciation and participant skill levels in the music arts by providing the opportunity for community youth and adults to participate in a fiddle festival. The Fiddle Festival will provide a venue for area participants to refine and showcase their skills. We will evaluate the project by obtaining feedback from the teachers, the participants, the clinicians and the parents. Each participant is asked to fill out a written evaluation after the completion of the Festival.
