Appalachian Fiddle

Welcome to the Appalachian Fiddle course! The emphasis is getting the proper feel of the music and learning to add variation.

Instead of building the whole course in advance, I’m making it as I go and responding to your feedback. So let me know what you think in a comment. Thanks! And I hope you thoroughly enjoy these lessons.

The beginner lessons are available to all paid subscribers. The variation lessons are available to Ultimate subscribers. Thanks for your support.
