Miro (new tab--or--window) is a 'free' open source video managment and video download program that can make your enrichment experience just awesome! With that said:
My efforts to enrich and inspire: You will understand this section better by having read the essay "What's in a Structure" in Fiddlers Cove Help Section But, getting to the point clearly, Inspire Me means simply that; and, Inform Me means compare various artists for treatment for both understanding and courage in developing my own voice, further empowered by inspiration.
Beyond Inspire and Inform, I will continue this enrichment journey with biographical sketches and tales of the journeys of some notable violinists of the past and present--perhaps even some great musicians in general as well such as one of my favorites: Bartok. This aspect is still in a half-formed thought status, as is a goal to highlight some students of violin.
And only after all the above are in place, I will start looking at world class ethnic and regional fiddlers. There is a reason for this, and the spirit in having developed this blog, I chose to emphasize getting one's foundations in place solidly as formally as possible. Fiddlers Cove is actually a reflection of my journey as well.
This exercise in enrichment will expand over the coming weeks, and will be the beginning, starting at first with a few festivals until I can decide how to structure this. There will be significant lag between first the first groups and later groups as I get better organized. So,Please follow onpage navigation until I get better organized--AND--Vids open in new tab--or--window

Note:You would be best served by following the on-page navigation until I get better organized--it is personalized for your benefit.
I am highlighting the Indiana Violin Competition Finals new tab-or-window as a first stop in Enrichment, because this competition is just so excellent as well as informative. Enjoy!
Festivals Areas Compare and Contrast
These festivals may also just be scrolled through as in the past, but have been broken out for ease of maintenance; and, I have to occasionally validate links.Further, I hope to add a note about each festival. Please Note:Sometimes, a concerto/work not noted may appear within a festival by the same composer. Though this was actually oversight, it shall remain for the present for variety.
Inspiration Areas Creative Juice
These links will continue to be presented as in the past, because within classical contexts, I do not envision more than a hundred links. And, I will not be commenting on any value per say, as you can create, for yourself.
