<p>No idea of summer programs, but wanted to pass on a tip that may interest your D. The violin teacher at Denison, (Ohio), Andy Carlson, is an amazing fiddler. Has a band here in Georgia. He teaches mainly classical, but also teaches fiddle to any student who wants it. My D is very enthusiastic about applying there and that is one reason.</p>
<p>The music program isn't as advanced as some, and therefore, a violinist with less of a classical background might not be too disadvantaged. And I suspect Mr. Carlson would be excited to have a student who loves fiddle. You might want to send him an email (from the Denison web site) and ask if he knows of any summer programs in your area (or in general.) I'm pretty sure there is a program somewhere in TN/NC - Appalachian Mtn area - but I can't remember enough about it.</p>
