A school with a difference, Spring Fiddle Weekend consists of a series of stand-alone one hour workshops, covering specifics such as ornamentation, bowings, harmony, and other specialist topics, aimed for players of all levels. Students will be able to mix and match their own programmes, as opposed to being placed in a set class/level.
An exciting opportunity for tune players and accompanists of all ability levels to participate in a weekend of workshops, discussions, jam sessions, and camaraderie. A community concert will be held in St Andrew's Hall, Strathalbyn on Saturday night, as a part of the camp.

Glenbarr Camp and Conference Centre is situated just outside the beautiful historic town of Strathalbyn, 50kms from Adelaide, South Australia. Originally a working farm established by the Rankin family, who came out from Scotland in the 1800s, Glenbarr is now run as a small camp, blending the old original stone buildings with modern dormitory facilities.
A perfect, rustic setting for a weekend music retreat!
You can visit the camp website here.
