ABOUT ME
Greetings, friends! I'm a fiddler and folk singer living in New Hampshire, and I perform and teach fiddle music from Celtic and American folk traditions far and wide. I love helping people experience the beauty and fun of fiddling.

I create fiddle lessons, sheet music, and practice tracks for a new traditional fiddle tune every month. These resources are geared towards intermediate fiddlers, or violinists who want to learn to fiddle. Great for prepping for jams with friends, family bands, school string groups, or just happily fiddling away on your own.

I also make fiddle videos for folks who just love fiddle music and want more of it in their lives. Thanks for tuning in!
