Full Circle is an adults-only (18 & older only!) studio, with most students 30-80, including many "bucket-list retirees" who have always wanted to learn to play the fiddle or violin. The only thing better than playing music on your own is getting together with other, like-minded adults to play tunes together – while enjoying snacks, friendship and even the occasional glass of wine.
