Quotes:

"The Buddy MacMaster School of Fiddling is unique to Cape Breton Island in that it features the styles of ten different teachers, both from the younger and older generation of fiddlers. The atmosphere is one of natural Cape Breton hospitality, in a focused environment that allows you to absorb the music and the meaning. I recommend this school for those wanting to learn the fiddling style of Cape Breton."

- Sincerely, Natalie MacMaster

Greetings from Rockland (outside of Ottawa).
I was at your school for one day (Monday) this year, and intend to be back for the whole week next year!  Really enjoyed the school, Celtic colours, and just about everything I saw and heard while there. I am a real fan of Cape Breton culture and music, and every time I go the depth and abilities of the young musicians I see blows me away! This year, after the Tuesday evening concert at Strathspey Place (which was itself an experience), I stopped into the Red Shoes pub and heard Jennifer Roland play - WOW! Another great musician and one I hadn`t heard of before.

I wanted to send an email to thank you for all the great teachers at this years fiddle class. I had a great time, and learned so much, and met so many great people while I was up in CB. I need to listen many times to the recordings of the lessons that I made so it can all sink in.
- Thanks again, Phil
