Fiddlekids Instructors

	Julian Smedley plays brilliant swing-jazz fiddle. His early European touring on the violin led him to the United States with artists such as Ralph Towner and Dan Hicks. He performs with Mike Wollenberg, Duo Gadjo, and his wife Alison Odell. Mike and Julian have just completed their eagerly awaited CD, A Common Language.
	John Blasquez is a superlative, seasoned performer in bluegrass, old-time, and Celtic genres, and his fiddling expertise is matched by his remarkable gift for teaching. Patient, encouraging, and creative, John is especially skilled in connecting with kids. Having served on staff for most of its years, John has contributed immensely to *fiddlekids*. We welcome his ingenuity, motivational talents, and great humor. www.singingwood.com
	Caroline McCaskey is a multi-instrumentalist with a degree in music composition from the University of the Pacific's Conservatory of Music. She easily combines classical technique with a driving, dynamic style of fiddling that spans the traditions of Scotland, Ireland, Cape Breton, French Canada, and Appalachia. She plays and records with her band, and has made a name for herself on the contradance circuit throughout California. Caroline has spent a decade teaching fiddle to children and adults. She is the 2007 winner of the International Musical Saw Association's annual Saw-Off.
