Must-Know Tunes for the Beginner and Intermediate Fiddler
About Must-Know Tunes for the Beginner and Intermediate Fiddler
Learn the common repertoire from the bluegrass and old-time fiddle traditions! No knowledge of music reading is necessary because we'll be learning everything by ear! This class is ideal for fiddlers who have basic knowledge of their instruments (how to tune, hold the bow, and maybe play a scale) but haven't learned much repertoire. I also welcome intermediate players who are new to this style of music. I will introduce a new tune every week – see you in class!

My son has been taking group lesson since January and is having a lot of fun learning a new song every week. Thanks so much for this opportunity!

I look forward to the next class. She taught by ear and finger placement so this is great for students even if they don't read music.

Good and slow enough, except not enough information for beginners who may not know ear training and proper fingering techniques to understand her directions.

I am a multi-instrumentalist with a passion for bluegrass and old time music. I love to perform and have had the opportunity to share the stage with many of my hero's. Over my years of learning and playing this music, I have been taught and mentored by many amazing musicians, which has inspired me to want to teach and mentor other musicians.
