Had a great week teaching fiddle along with Eric Ryan teaching the tin whistle and Matt Bell teaching bodhran at the Celtc Arts and Culture Camp in Des Moines Iowa. Everyone was extremely nice and gracious and the kids were eager to try out playing instruments that were new to them. This video shows how much they accomplished in three days.
