Coda Fiddle Orchestra is a participatory community music project that works with children and young people, and their families, predominantly from West Boscombe. It offers violin tuition and ensemble opportunities  through the Fiddle Orchestra - for those aged 6 to 16 from a deprived area of Bournemouth (Boscombe). It is run by Jack Maguire, former co-leader of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. It has been running since 2004 and is now evolving to include traditional, folk and popular music with improvisation and technology.
