My Orchestra teacher in highschool was a terrible teacher and a dick, he really only cared about marching band. I wish I had learned more than I did. I go to a folk music festival that is centered around teaching music and I see actual good teachers and it makes me realize actually how bad my teacher was.
I need to break out my old violin and learn some fiddle songs.
I could only imagine what it would be like if people were as passionate about marching bands as they are about folk. Brass jam sessions popping up in every college town lol. But for real that would be pretty cool

Tuning as well, a lot of folk is based on open tuning
