About Fresno Violin and Fiddle Instructor Kristi Hughes
Introducing Violin and Fiddle Teacher Kristi Hughes
I
began training classically on the violin in 1989 in Washington
state at the age of nine.. A few years after that, I started I also took up fiddle style. I
have performed for many audiences as a soloist, with informal groups, and
in orchestras in Washington and California.
In 97/98 I played with the Fresno Youth Philharmonic and joined the
National Old Time Fiddlers' Association. In the spring of
98, I won 9th place in the state for fiddle in the 12 – 18 age bracket. In
summer 98, I recorded an album with District 2 of the National Old Time Fiddlers' Association.
I have played at the Kerman 4th of July program for several years
with my husband, star students, and other band members, and
played at Borders Books and Coffeehouse several times.
In Spokane Washington, I studied under Morris Oliver for 8 years. In
Fresno, I studied under Cynthia Stuart for 2 years, and Dr. Margets from
Fresno State for a year. I'm currently studying under Master
Violinist Christina Brice Dolanc, who plays with the Fresno Philharmonic and increasing my repertoire of
violin and fiddle songs.
I
now perform with my husband at various church events, senior homes,
hospitals, family gatherings, fairs and festivals. See our live performance calendar.
