The N.A. Fiddlers

        The N.A. Fiddlers, under the direction of Dennis Morton, a string teacher within the North Allegheny School District, was organized in 2002 for students within the District interested in expanding their love and knowledge of music.     

        The students representing the N.A. Fiddlers are in grades 6 through 12.  These fiddlers participate in a weeklong workshop during the summer months and learn many styles of fiddling such as Scottish, Irish, Old Timey, Scandinavian and Cajun.  Tunes are taught and learned in the aural style, meaning by ear and without the use of written notes.

        The N.A. Fiddlers have performed at various locations throughout the North Hills including:
