After the final workshop, I asked one of the instructors if he had any tips on playing Scottish music specifically. He broke into an upbeat strathspey rhythm with a whole lot of jump in it and said, "Fire." That's what I'm taking with me from Maine Fiddle Camp. Fire in my playing and fire in my overall musical life. I could not have afforded to go to camp without the help of the New Hampshire Scottish Music Club scholarship, and I'm very grateful for that support.
