Fiddle Lessons in Glen Burnie. Amazing Teachers.

Irish, Scottish, Celtic, bluegrass, country. Let's get fiddling!

I teach beginner fiddle, drawing upon a repertoire and style reflective of my background in traditional Southeastern US/Southern Appalachian fiddling. I have the ability to teach either without or without written musical notation; however, in either case, we will work on ear-training and learning to play by ear.

Have you been playing for a long time, or have you never picked up the instrument before? Whether you are a child or an adult, I have a style of teaching for you. I've been playing since I was a child and have a special place in my heart for the is instrument. I actually began learning from a fiddle player and trained classically later. If you want to learn how to succeed in playing this exciting and thrilling style, this is the place for you.

Students will be introduced to various fiddling traditions including Irish, Scottish, Bluegrass, and the Norwegian Hardanger Fiddle.

The violin sings, but the fiddle dances. Or so the old saying goes! In teaching fiddle, I love to bring essential violin technique together with the various styles of diverse music. In the first few lessons we'll explore the style of fiddle you'd like to play and create a path towards that sound. As time goes on, you'll be ready to jump into a bluegrass jam circle, start a ceili or shred like Lindsey Stirling! The direction you take is up to you, and I'm excited to help you meet your goals!
