Week 1- Mini-Class
Cajun Fiddle From Scratch
Michelle Kaminsky

Michelle Kaminsky has been  an Augusta regular since 1980, first as a student and then as an instructor, giving her the opportunity to learn from many Cajun and Creole fiddle players, including Dewey Balfa, Canray Fontenot, Danny and Ed Poullard, Mitch Reed, Al Berard and many others. Her own early background in classical music helps her to teach students how to produce good tone with efficient technique. Michelle especially enjoys working with beginners, helping them to build confidence. 

Michelle has been  a fiddler in Magnolia since 1991, well-known in the Northeast as the mainstay of the Cajun dance scene.
