Austin's Fiddle Heaven Fiddle Retreat in Pompano Beach Florida Fiddlershop

 "I had such a wonderful time at Fiddle Heaven!  Austin was warm and inclusive from the very start, and I could see that everyone felt comfortable and ready to go, no matter what their level. It really helped to do the exercises right there in class with him, even better than watching his videos at home, if that could even be possible, because he was right there and able to make observations and tailor things to our class and individual needs.  We gained so many great tools to take home and make practice even more fun. He also had loads of helpful hints for using technology to help our playing and listening. And, he just radiates enthusiasm when he teaches and plays, which just rounded out the whole awesome experience. This is a Both Thumbs Up!" -Susan
