Workshops & Camps
Here you’ll find a list of folk music camps and workshops that are taking place (in some form or another). Support the camp you’ve been going to for years, or find a new one, now that everything is virtual! Get inspired by what camps are doing to manage through the pandemic.
Mike Block String Camp
Mike Block String Camp is an annual summer workshop for string players of all ages and backgrounds, focusing on non-Classical traditions and contemporary musical styles, with emphasis on learning by ear, creativity, collaboration, and performance. The faculty are currently brainstorming about creating an exciting/fun online experience for you that will combine level-based teaching in multiple styles with broader community-building experiences.
Folkway Workshop: Folk Music for Classical Musicians
This course will give a comprehensive introduction to playing fiddle music for any string player. It will be a jumping board for anyone wanting to become a fiddler, or just learn some tunes. This workshop is made for musicians who want to further their musical toolboxes and diversify their experiences and various abilities on their instrument.
Fiddle Pal Camp 2020 From Home
Challenges inspire innovation! This year we have created learning opportunities that had not previously been possible with greater variety, more teachers, more one-on-one access, more “aha” moments. Violin, viola, cello, mandolin, and guitar players learn tunes and techniques from a variety of traditions such as Bluegrass, Scottish, Jazz, Appalachian, Irish, and Blues. Be inspired by the energy of a week of camp and continue to access the lessons for an entire year.
