Boston Harbor Scottish Fiddle School

Welcome to the registration page for the 13th Boston Harbor Scottish Fiddle School! 

The Boston Harbor Scottish Fiddle School, sponsored by the Folk Arts Center of New England, presents you with an  opportunity that is unique to fiddle camps:  a chance to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings of Boston's Thompson Island, part of the Harbor Islands National Recreation Area, and at the same time enjoy Scottish music lessons with a world-class staff of teachers!  All musical abilities are welcome, from very beginner through advanced!  With the unique Boston skyline as a backdrop one mile away across the Harbor, Thompson Island offers an effortless way to "get away from it all" without having to go very far - even if you fly in from distant places (Logan Airport is a 10-minute cab drive away from the Thompson Island dock).  And with spectacular sunsets, a genuine New England clambake, well-sized classes, world-renowned teachers, dancing and music-making around the clock and an island staff that is always thrilled to welcome us back each year, this activity-packed session is guaranteed to leave you with memories and tunes you will treasure for a long time to come.

For lots more information, please go the the Boston Harbor Scottish Fiddle School website:  http://scottishfiddleschool.org/.
