If you are seeking an alternative to classical violin, fiddle music is wonderful! I am happy to teach you in Celtic and American fiddle. We will explore traditional and modern pieces in both fiddle styles. You will learn the techniques which give fiddle music its distinct "fiddle" sound--double stops (playing two or more notes at once), ornaments (quick decorations on a note), and glissandi (sliding into a pitch). You will also learn how to improvise or embellish a tune!

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!
