Learning on your own can be frustrating. Here’s what new fiddlers tell me:
- It’s so hard to get a nice sound.
- I lose the motivation to practice every day.
- I’m not making much progress by watching random videos on YouTube.

Since the first and second bars are the same, you just need to practice the play-along track for the first bar 🙂
Our intuitive system breaks tunes down into small, easy-to-follow LearningChunks™ of audio, sheet music and color-coded tabs. Learn and master your favorite Old-time, Irish, Bluegrass, Klezmer and Cajun tunes.
As you pick up tunes, you’ll be learning techniques to help you play the tunes like scales, bowing, intonation and timing. You’ll also learn powerful practice techniques like Drone-tuning™, looping, audiation and reflection.
I lead students in live workshops. These “practice journeys” are a fun way to:
Everyone learns in a different way. The modular structure of FiddleHed allows you to go at your own pace. Take lessons whenever you want in the comfort of your own home (even in your pajamas).
“I started fiddling with no musical knowledge or background. I realized I wasn't making progress, so I signed up for FiddleHed. The structured course has helped so much with the basics, like playing in time (I was always slowing down for the hard parts). Above all it is FUN!”
“Jason is a super-fun and kind teacher to learn violin with. He taught me to enjoy music and not be afraid to improvise.”
“I think the biggest fiddle challenge for me was learning to read music. The FiddleHed website with notations with sheet music somehow made everything click into place. I’m now learning new songs every week just from the sheet music.”
“Before joining Fiddlehed, my biggest struggle was a paralyzing fear of playing in front of others. I’ve gained a lot of confidence through the FiddleHed lessons and online workshops .”
“I almost gave up on fiddling because it was such a huge struggle to play in tune. Using the FiddleHed method of slowing down and drone-tuning really improved my pitch. The clear lessons and practice tools have helped me to learn the fiddle and live a more fulfilled life.”

If you look at the cost of private music lessons, a qualified teacher will charge between $50 and $120 an hour. At the very least, weekly private lessons for a year would add up to $2600.
If you buy an All-access Yearly subscription to FiddleHed, it will cost you $390, which, compared to the price of private lessons, is a savings of $2210 each year!
So why wait? If you want to play the fiddle, you should start immediately. Harness the excitement you feel right now to establish a daily practice.
This positive energy will motivate you as you move through the early physical, emotional and practice challenges of learning. If you decide to wait and see what happens, this window of motivation might close.
Fiddlehed will help you reach your goals and enjoy the journey.
