JENNA REID Hailing from
Shetland, Jenna grew up immersed in the islands rich fiddle
tradition. At the age of nine, she began to learn the fiddle,
and was taught by the late Dr Tom Anderson. When fiddle
tuition became available in schools, Jenna studied with
the late Willie Hunter and was under his direction until
the age of 13; during that time she was a prominent prize-winner
in the 'Shetlands Young Fiddler of the Year Competition'
and by the age of 14 had won both the intermediate and open
sections of this annual competition. Through this success
she was subsequently invited to compete in the Glennfiddich
Fiddle Competition. Whilst still at school Jenna also took
lessons from Trevor Hunter and Margaret Scollay. In addition
to playing the fiddle, Jenna also studied classical piano.
