Youth Division : Zach B.

Zach started playing the violin at 10 years old, taught by Mrs. Dunsford at Sappington Elementary. From Zach: "At first I didn’t like playing until my mom convinced me to join the elementary honors orchestra in 5th grade. I barely made the audition and got introduced into fiddling through Mrs. Howard in both EHO and the middle school Fiddlers. What got me more inspired to do fiddling was fiddle camp and auditioning for ADV fiddlers where I learned cool songs with my friends. I hope I have inspired younger or maybe even older students to find their own music in life."
