Tunes for Students
I hope you enjoy these tunes! I’m making teaching videos, recording slow and up to speed versions, and publishing sheet music when I’m able. Feel free to contact me with a request and I’ll do my best to get it on the list! I intend these materials to be free enrichment for my fiddle students and free resources for anyone who wants to learn traditional music or fiddle. However, you may make a donation if you wish by clicking on the Paypal button below. I am not a non-profit. Most of the data is hosted by YouTube, so any donations will mostly cover my time in making and preparing these materials.
NOTE: New lessons and materials are going up at www.freefiddlelessons.com. Eventually this page is going to disappear!
