Mr. Walker began taking violin lessons from John Coppin, a member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, as a youth. After a period of long, disciplined practice sessions and recitals, he served as the concertmaster of his teacher’s orchestra, The Montebello Symphony, and frequently played solos in a number of settings.

Mr. Walker studied and graduated with a Master in Music at Redlands University in California. Walker then returned to his family’s musical roots in country music by becoming an adept fiddler and mandolin player. Starting in 1996 and to the present, Walker has played with the Wedgwood Trio, a group that plays sacred folk and country music, as a fiddler and mandolin player. During this time, he has played in concerts in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the U.S.

Today, Walker operates Dick Walker Music, in Leakey, Texas. He enjoys a reputation as one of South Texass finest musicians and is in demand as a performer and a teacher.
