Fiona picked up the fiddle at age two, and learned her first fiddle tunes from her father Bill Schubeck when she was four. She grew up with classical Suzuki training and joined the family contradance band in high school, playing for the Blue Hill dances every month. She went on to study at Berklee School of Music in Boston for one semester and continues to play for dances and weddings with various groups.  She first attended Maine fiddle camp in 2004, came back the next year to teach and has been calling it home every since.
