FiddleHed can save you thousands! Here’s how:
If you look at the cost of private music lessons, a qualified teacher will charge between $60 and $120 an hour. At the very least, weekly private lessons for a year would add up to $3120.

If you buy an All-access Yearly subscription to FiddleHed, it will cost you $444, which, compared to the price of private lessons, is a savings of $2676 each year!

Course FAQ
Who is Fiddlehed designed for?
FiddleHed is for anyone who wants to have more fun learning the fiddle — whether you're just starting out or picking it back up after years away.
🎯 It’s perfect for:
Absolute beginners who want a friendly, step-by-step path
Intermediate players ready to explore new styles, variations, and chord backup
Classical violinists looking for something more relaxed, fun, and communal
Returning players who learned as kids and want to fall in love with it again
If you're eyeing professional violinist titles or instant results with zero practice, this may not be your tune.

Can I try out the FiddleHed course before subscribing?
Yes! 🎉
We offer a 14-day free trial with full access to all lessons, tunes, and practice tools.
It’s the best way to see if the course fits your vibe — no strings attached (except fiddle strings 😄).
How do renewals work?
Subscriptions renew automatically, so you don’t have to worry about losing access.
Need a break? You can pause or cancel anytime from your account page.
Got re-subscribed and didn’t mean to? No prob. Just let us know and we’ll refund the payment — no questions asked. We don’t want you (or anyone) paying for the course if you’re not into it.
And if anything’s not working or feels off, just email us — I’ll take care of it personally. 🎻💌
Can I go beyond the basics with FiddleHed? Are there more advanced lessons?
Absolutely! 🙌
While I put a lot of love into helping beginners, I also guide continuing fiddlers to deeper skills — always with that beginner’s mind approach.
Here are some awesome learning pathways for advancing players:
🎻 Irish Fiddle: Add authentic shimmer with Irish ornamentation
🪕 Appalachian & Old-Time: Explore slides, cross-tuning, and the rootsy magic of these styles
🎨 The Art of Fiddling: Learn vibrato, melodic variation, and improv to make tunes your own
🔁 Chord Backup Pathway: Learn to jam, back up tunes, and layer in double stops
📖 Note-reading for Fiddlers: Connect what you play to the notes on the page by reading familiar tunes, building up gradually through fun LearningChunks™ and simple exercises
And it’s all grounded in the FiddleHed learning Fiddlosophy — step-by-step, loop-based, and joyful. 🎶

What’s the difference between FiddleHed and PED?
FiddleHed is an online, self-paced course designed to help you grow as a fiddler, starting from the absolute basics to exploring advanced techniques like Irish ornamentation, chord backup, and even improvisation.
It’s like a step-by-step journey, where you can take your time and learn at your own speed, diving into genres like Irish, Old-Time, and more.
Play Every Day, on the other hand, is our vibrant practice community. It’s where fiddlers come together to support each other in building a daily practice habit. Through fun challenges, workshops, and live events, it helps keep your practice consistent, joyful, and goal-focused.
Think of it as your fiddle accountability buddy, multiplied by a whole community! 🎻😊
Can I participate in live events if I’m not a Play Every Day member?
Live events are only available to PED paid subscribers. This ensures a more interactive experience for those who thrive in a community setting.
Do I need to be an experienced player to join FiddleHed or Play Every Day?
Nope! FiddleHed starts at the very beginning. Play Every Day supports players of all levels — especially beginners who want fun + structure.
Does the Play Every Day subscription include access to the full FiddleHed course?
Nope — they’re separate, but they work beautifully together.
Play Every Day (PED) gives you community support: live events, group practice, guided challenges, and communal practice journals.
The FiddleHed course gives you structured lessons, step-by-step tutorials, and skill-building pathways.
To access all structured lessons, tutorials, and learning pathways, you’ll need:
A FiddleHed Course subscription
orA Bundle subscription, which includes both the course and community at a discounted rate.
👉 Want both? The bundle is your best bet!
How often do live events take place in the Play Every Day Community?
We host around two fun, friendly events a week — including workshops, practice jams, office hours, and more. You’ll get at least two guided workshops a month, plus surprise extras.
Check the Community for the full schedule 📅 — and if you miss one, no worries! Recordings are always available.
Oh, and students often start their own meetups too — like small practice groups and buddy sessions. It’s kind of like a musical clubhouse. 🎻✨
I already practice on my own. What would this add?
Play Every Day turns solo practice into social practice — with structure, inspiration, and real connection. It’s like giving your fiddle journey a turbo boost. 🚀
I already have a FiddleHed or Play Every Day subscription. What happens if I buy the bundle? Will I be double-charged?
Nope! You won’t be double-charged. When you purchase the bundle, our system will:
Automatically cancel your current plan
Apply a prorated credit for the unused portion of your existing subscription
Start your new bundle membership right away
You don’t need to cancel anything first — just go ahead and subscribe to the bundle.
💡 This only works if you use the same email address and payment method for both subscriptions.
Is this just for fiddle, or can I join with another instrument?
Right now, most members are fiddlers and violinists. But we welcome anyone learning any instrument! The long-term vision is to grow Play Every Day into a vibrant practice community for all musicians. Many of our tools — like live jams, call-and-response, practice prompts, and the Practice Buddy system — work no matter what you play.
