Inspired by her summers spent studying traditional music in Ireland and across the United States, Mariel Vandersteel decided to study traditional music in Norway after graduating from Berklee. She studied the Hardingfele and Norwegian folk music at Høgskolen i Telemark Rauland. While in Norway, she performed at outdoor festivals and in the local elementary school where she taught children about American folk music. Mariel has taught at Alasdair Fraser’s Sierra Fiddle Camp, has been an assistant teacher at FiddleKids, and SF Bay Area fiddle camp for children, and has shared the stage with Alasdair Fraser, Laura Risk, Hanneke Cassel, Natalie Haas, Tristan and Tashina Clarridge, Nic Gareiss, Andre Brunet, and Philip Baily of Earth Wind and Fire.
