Stan Chapman is originally from New Glasgow, N.S., and now lives in Antigonish, N.S. He studied violin under Vera Campbell, and progressed through Toronto Royal Conservatory Violin and Theory exams. His interest in fiddling came from his father and uncle who were both fiddlers. He taught classroom music in the school system in Nova Scotia for more than 30 years, and has taught Cape Breton Fiddle to many students as well. He has conducted fiddle groups including the Cape Breton Fiddlers’ Association, and has directed fiddle workshops in the United States and Canada. Stan taught at BHSFS in 2007 and we could not be more delighted to welcome him back.
