Are You Frustrated with Books and Videos that Don't Teach You How to Play the Fiddle?

Have you gotten one of those books that are suppose to teach you how to play the fiddle? And the first part is about how to read music notation? And the next thing you know you’re suppose to translate those stinkin’ little dots into sharp, flat or Scruggs. And you spend more time on that than actually playing the tune. What’s that about?

Why struggle with those bewildering little dots when you don’t have to? You want to play the fiddle? Then learn to play the fiddle. You can learn to read music later. If you want to.

Mastering the fiddle to the point of being able to play a hoe down takes concentration, time and attention to detail. Don’t scatter your effort by trying to master standard music notation.

In my fiddle teaching studio, five year old kids learn to read fiddle tab in a few minutes. It’s that easy and intuitive.

If they can, you can, too--even if you already have learned some music notation.

Typical fiddle instruction videos only show you how the instructor plays the tune. There is very little actual teaching. And I haven’t seen one yet that reveals the secrets of “getting that sound.”

They just give a demonstration. That’s all. It can drive you crazy.

If you’re serious about learning how to play the fiddle, you deserve better instruction than that.

Conscious Learning Helps You Learn to Play the Fiddle--
(How I Became the Fiddle Coach)

There are brilliant fiddlers who do not know how to teach. I've met many of them. Their incredible ability was learned intuitively.

My path of learning was conscious. This makes me a teacher as well as a player.

At the beginning of my journey to the heart of the fiddlers’ circle, I was a violinist. More exactly, I was a second stand second violinist in a second class orchestra. In other words, I had some ability, but not enough to earn a living as a symphony violinist.

I was drawn to fiddling, at the age of 32, by the pull of improvisation. I left the world of orchestra playing and joined a folk music trio. Of the three of us, only the guitar player had a clue. He advised me to listen to Vassar Clements.

Soon I had a chance to do that in Nashville. I also met Sid Harkreader, an original Grand Old Opry fiddler. Hearing his version of “Mississippi Sawyer” gave me a love for that tune that I still have. I used my listening and learning skill, developed from many years of violin study.

After about a year later I migrated to a bluegrass band that needed a fiddler. My fiddle education really got going. I listened to fiddlers live and recorded. I did the best I could to figured out how to copy the sound.

After a year I passed from violinist playing fiddle music to fiddler. A man came up to me after a concert at a shopping mall. He said that he played the same instrument, but he was a violinist. I was delighted by that. I had “passed.”

But, even then, there were a few crucial elements I had to learn.
