About the Instructor: Maeve Fairfax is a junior at the University of Vermont. She has lived in Burlington her whole life and has been involved with Young Tradition Vermont/Folklife programs as a participant or teacher since she was twelve. Maeve plays fiddle, flute, and guitar in a variety of styles (mostly Quebecois and Celtic, expanding recently into Appalachian Old Time and Scandinavian tunes). She got my start as a fiddle player in the Fiddleheads program, and is beyond excited to have the opportunity to lead it!
