Community Commitment at KV
 Kennedy Violins is passionate about building strong and healthy music
communities locally and nationwide. With countless music programs
disappearing each year and eager students unable to afford participation
in the arts, they are committed to revitalize organizations in need of
support.
Kennedy Violins is constantly involved in community outreach, donating
instruments and offering financial support to music programs in need
because schools, youth symphonies, local festivals, and competitions
won't survive without our individual and collective efforts to keep music
vibrantly alive in the world.

 Win a Fiddle DVD!
Enter our free drawing for your chance to win a new DVD, John Showman's "Fiddle Shuffle and Groove"
from Woodhall Music! Three winners will be chosen!
On this DVD, John Showman teaches fiddle players how to get more
tone and groove into their playing by going beyond one-note-per-bow
bowing. Beginning with a detailed review of proper and relaxed bowing
technique, John then shows how to add varied bowing moves, such as
shuffling, syncopation, double stops and free-form bowing, to help the
player achieve improved "feel" and "groovy-ness."
