Jeremy Kittel, 39, Brooklyn NY
Instruments played, including voice:
Violin / Fiddle, Viola, Voice - some mandolin, guitar, piano
Describe your journey in music from the beginning to where you are now:
OK, let's see… Well, I started so long ago that it's hard to even remember… I started with violin when I was about five years old, and my older brother was my inspiration at the time (he played violin and would write little tunes on the piano). We had a lot of different kinds of music and instruments around the house, and I grew more and more into it, but I think I really fell in love with music when I was around eleven, and specifically Celtic fiddle was one of my first obsessions. I grew up in Saline, Michigan, just outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and close to Detroit, and there were a lot of great musicians and educators I was both lucky to work with through schools and in the communities. I went to college and studied jazz and classical music at the University of Michigan, I was fortunate to be making albums as a teenager and early in my 20s, went to grad school in New York City at Manhattan School of Music, again for jazz, and a bit of classical. After that, I joined one of my dream ensembles, the Turtle Island String Quartet, an innovative, Grammy-winning ensemble based in California. So I was out in California for a few years, finished another solo fiddle-centric album, started to flex my arranging chops more on various records... And after about five years living in California, I moved back to the East Coast, back to New York City where I've been since then. These days I work with my band Kittel & Co., where I'm honored to write and work with some really amazing acoustic musicians. I work with orchestras on different projects, on jazz, singer-songwriter, folk, and pop-related projects here in NYC, recording and arranging strings for all sorts of bands of various genres... and more recently I've been working some on Broadway both as a player and as an arranger. I'm currently working on a couple records - one with my band Kittel & Co., the other with Orlando Philharmonic. And I'm obsessed these days with guitar, so I let myself practice a little bit of guitar at least every day, even though it's not my main thing per se (yet!).
Where are you now and is it your ultimate destination in music?
Definitely for me there's no ultimate destination in music… Lately my career inspiration and a big musical inspiration has been John Williams, the legendary film composer; I'm inspired by the incredibly high level of music making and professionalism that he has exhibited throughout his years, all the way to his current age of 91. I don't imagine ever retiring from making music as a career, though I imagine it will change over time, hopefully in a great way.
How did you get involved musically with Mike Block and String Camp?
I've known Mike Block for so many years; I first actually met Mike probably fifteen years ago when we were both walking back from the subway station in northern Manhattan from our respective gigs. He had a cello on his back and I had a violin so it was easy to strike up a conversation. We quickly realized we knew tons of people in common, and we've been friends ever since. I've really enjoyed teaching at MBSC I think two times in the past, and I'm looking forward to going back!

What do you enjoy most about working with students?
I think I love teaching music so much because I love music so much and I love people; so it sounds almost overly simple to say, but if the people whom I get to teach are very interested, and they're willing to put in the work to make progress, then it's usually very inspiring to teach and share music. It's one of the most wonderful things we can do as human beings, making music expressively, and I recommend it to everyone, whether total beginner or perhaps an advanced player who never connected with their own creativity & expression.
What’s your favorite part of this experience?
Making music and being with great people! And the fact that it's on the beach doesn't hurt at all. :-)Weigh the in-person teaching experience against the online experience:
On one hand it's true that online teaching is super effective in some ways, and for certain benefits; for example I can pretty much listen to a student online in a masterclass-style format and make suggestions, and I've been successfully teaching and helping many students that way, especially the last few years. That said, there's no substitute for being able to play together simultaneously (which the technology may never actually catch up to because of the ol' speed of light limitations, as I understand it). There's absolutely no substitute for being able to make music together, in the same room, in real time, in the same acoustic environment… That's another kind of magic that can only happen in person.
Talk a bit about your online workshops:
I've taught a lot of different kinds of online workshops the last few years; they're fun and effective when you can't easily be together in person. I've enjoyed teaching online workshops for Mike's series which is awesome and is called "Guided Practice Sessions" for example. And yes, I also have a new monthly online music workshop that ranges through different styles and is exquisitely named "Fiddle with Kittel."
Talk about the jamming experience:
It's funny, I used to jam a lot more than I do these days in general… Probably because most of what I do has to be professional on some level since music is my career, and we're always working on certain tunes, etc.… That said, jamming is incredibly important to me, and can be so fun and I do essentially jam with people in concert too with different repertoire, whether it's fiddling-related or jazz or even a rock band, etc. Jamming is central to how I teach also, and it's so fun and can be a great way to kind of get to know another musician too. There will definitely be a lot of jamming at camp!
Where can people hear you in person and recorded?
People can hear me online through most of the major streaming outlets under my name, Jeremy Kittel, and sometimes my band name, Kittel & Co. And yes, I often tour around the country and people can check out my tour schedule at jeremykittel.com.
What’s ahead for you musically?
Finishing those two aforementioned albums, arranging on a new cool jazz-based musical that's in progress, and gigging here in NYC! And about another couple dozen ideas, but one step at a time. :-)

Lauren Rioux (pronounced ReeYou), almost 42, Scarborough, Maine
Instruments played, including voice:
5 String Fiddle, violin and viola, Old Time Banjo, Piano, and I like to sing.
Describe your journey in music from the beginning to where you are now:
In first grade my family was living in Orlando, where the school had a Suzuki program. My parents enrolled me and I really loved the lessons. We moved to rural DownEast Maine the next year and fortunately they found me a teacher within a reasonable distance. I grew up driving 2.5 hours one way for youth orchestra every weekend. In college (Osher School of Music) I studied Violin Performance and Music Education, and attended national conferences where I witnessed kids performing fiddle tunes and multi generational jams. I heard about “fiddle camps” and signed up for one the following summer. The experience was life-changing, and after graduation I focused my attention on learning and performing folk music and non-classical styles. I started teaching in 1999 and over the years have helped hundreds of students express themselves through music.
Then, where are you now and is it your ultimate destination in music?
Right now I primarily teach- I’m a mother to two young children and I like to be home with them, so I’m not touring on a regular schedule these days. I have a private studio with students ranging from 5-75, I run a website with courses, books and a blog (https://www.jamwithlauren.com/), and I introduce violin to 4th and 5th graders at my son’s school. I also enjoy traveling as a clinician for educators and students, and performing at music camps and festivals during the summer months. As far as it being my ultimate destination? I know I’ll always be an educator, but I don’t think any artist is truly satisfied and announces an arrival point in their career of creativity. To arrive is to pretty much declare the journey is over. I’m planning on this being a life long adventure, and looking forward to more recording, producing and performing again, and building new curriculums to support students.
How did you get involved musically with Mike Block and String Camp?
I met Mike at a fiddle camp and we connected as classical musicians who were looking for other creative outlets. Eventually we both ended up playing in the same band and touring together for a few years. When the opportunity arose for him to start this camp in Vero Beach, we had lots of shared musical and educational experiences, and he invited me to teach at his first camp.
How many years have you been teaching here?
This will be our 14th year, and I’m fortunate to have been a part of every one of them.

|
What do you enjoy most about working with students?
That they’re all so eager, and willing to take risks. The skills we work on at MBSC are a very different set of tools than we use in the classical world. It really boils down to being comfortable enough to trust your decision making skills. Sometimes those decisions are made in rehearsals, and other times you make them in the moment.
Are they all ages? If so, how are they age groups similar or different?
There’s a wide age range at camp. I think the biggest span has been maybe 7-70? But usually the youngest student is around 10. There are beginners, intermediates, advanced, and professionals of every age. Well, there aren’t 10 year old professionals. Yet. But we have an adult amateur class and we have adult professionals as well. Their similarities are that they all care enough to be there, working on being better musicians and humans. Their differences are how they process taking risks. Kids are used to learning. They try, maybe fail, and are used to trying again. Most adults are used to streamlining in their professions and focus more on mastery instead of acquiring new skills. It’s a little harder to let go of being self-conscious. I applaud all of them for trusting us (the faculty) and taking the leap.
What’s your favorite part of this experience?
That’s too hard! My favorite parts: I love that people come from all over the world to learn about music and themselves. I love the faculty concerts- hearing collaborations and performances that are unique to each year. I love returning to Vero Beach year after year and seeing local kids grow up into fantastic adults. I really love the tradition of awarding and passing along the Daniel Pearl Memorial Violin. It’s a special week.
Talk about the jamming experience:
Well, the name of my website is JamWithLauren, so you might gather that I’m a big proponent of jamming. A jam session is akin to a science lab, where you can go test out your hypotheses and try experiment after experiment. Some are thrilling, some are duds. But trying out these musical ideas is crucial for growth, and once you have processed the data and are confident in your findings, a jam can be really inspiring. It can also be a good representation of celebrating our differences. At an MBSC jam, you see multiple generations of varying abilities all participating by making music at a level that works for them.
Where can people hear you in person and recorded?
I’ll be performing at the Vero Beach International Music Festival, and you can find me pretty easily on YouTube by searching my name. Or you can listen/buy my album on BandCamp https://laurenrioux.bandcamp.com/album/all-the-brighter
What’s ahead for you musically?
I’m in the process of developing a new course that I’ll film this fall. I’m looking forward to more practice time as my daughter starts preschool this September. More practice time means writing more tunes, which always excites me.
