About Ashley D.

(4)

Hello! Are you interested in learning the Bluegrass, Country, Gospel, or Old Time Fiddle style of playing violin? I can help you! I have been teaching professionally since 2009, and I have loved every minute of it! I specialize in teaching music for violin / fiddle by ear and music notation. You will learn how to acquire, set up and tune your instrument, as well as regular maintenance. Lessons will start with posture and bow exercises, then you will learn short, simple fiddle tunes. You will gradually progress into learning more advanced songs/tunes. Eventually, you will be able to jam with other musicians. We will have fun fiddling!

I started lessons with Ashley 2 years ago. I am now playing the fiddle, I am still at the beginning, but I can play a repertoire of quite a few songs. Ashley is a delightful instructor and an accomplished fiddle player who makes the lessons very enjoyable. I highly recommend her!

Great start. I am a super-beginner and we are starting with the basics. Today was my first lesson. Ashley is patient, and knowledgeable for a start-up student like me. And she plays a mean fiddle. I asked for a demonstration— I gotta long road ahead but I am excited by the prospects of Ashley’s instruction.
