Apply for an apprenticeship award to study traditional music or singing with local musician Alex Caton! Receive one-on-one attention, regular private lessons, opportunities to play with and for others, and a chance to really immerse yourself and improve your skills over a six-month period (January-June 2027). The ultimate goal is to help keep these music traditions alive and be able to pass them on to future generations through performance and instruction.

Open to those 15 years and older with proficiency (at least an intermediate level and up to advanced) in either Irish, old-time, or bluegrass fiddle, clawhammer banjo, or harmony singing. Candidates must be willing and able to get transportation to weekly lessons plus occasional jam sessions in the area, occasional gigs, and visits to places like The Senior Center in Orange and The Boys and Girls Club.
