The Imaa music program enjoyed a special week with fiddle instructor, Debbie Miles Violin! Debbie taught fiddle 3 times daily with the wonderful “Imaa” youth (seen here drum dancing) and mentored our budding teen fiddle instructors.

The children enjoyed learning Debbie’s fiddle tune “It’s So Muddy Buddy”! Debbie also gave many lively violin presentations at Nakasuk (and Joamie) schools and also taught the Saturday fiddle groups.

A busy music week filled with fiddle fun and sunny skies!
