Student Review:

I have looked at several fiddle instruction videos and I can honestly say that your video has taught me more and I have improved my playing faster then any of the others combined. Your relaxed and non-rushed way of instruction is just what I needed. You go over every song in detail but not in a complex or confusing way. Nor is it so slow and basic that it is boring.

I especially appreciated the way you start each song note by note in a basic format then go on to make it sound beautiful with the fills and ornaments giving me something to strive for. I hope if given a chance you make a “Waltzes, Airs and Haunting Melodies” Part 2″
