UMFS Family Fiddle Overview
Building Connection, Culture & Creativity Through Celtic Music
Welcome
Rooted in the heartfelt traditions of Scottish and Irish emigrant families, the fiddle was more than an instrument—it was a lifeline of joy, cultural memory, and community. Today, the UMFS Family Fiddle Subscription Program invites modern families—especially those involved in post-adoption support—to recreate that legacy through music.
Whether bridging emotional gaps, bonding across generations, or forging new family rituals, this program offers a shared, ear‑based learning experience accessible to all.
