Junior Fiddlers

The Washington Old Time Fiddlers encourages young people to try their hand at fiddling in the old time style. Funds raised by some districts help pay for eligible children to attend the summer workshop. In fact, approximately one third of the Kittitas workshop attendees have been children! Several districts also offer classes for youth when there is interest and an available teacher (for example, see District 3 on our Districts page). Our state contest also offers an opportunity for several categories of youth to compete against their peers.

There are children within the Washington Old Time Fiddlers who are lucky to come from "musical" families. Just as prevalent in WOTFA are children who have led their parents into the world of old time music because of their youthful talent and enthusiasm.

Children are the future of old time music!
