CTBA is proud to announce two youth scholarships that were awarded for Steve Kaufman's Flatpicking Guitar Workshop,
held at Fiddler's Green music store on September 11-12, 2009. Both Austinites - Josh Upham and Amy Collins - applied for the
scholarships and submitted strong references and goals for their interest and dedication to music. Josh, 14, is a guitar player and singer
who has been playing for two years. He appreciated the the cross-picking techniques
he learned at the eight-hour workshop. Amy Collins, 16, plays the guitar, banjo, flute, and piano. Amy learned more in one day at the workshop
she says, than in the previous year. CTBA congratulates these up-and-coming
young musicians on their award and we hope to hear more about them in the future. (Pictured above left to right: Amy, Steve, Josh.
