Each day, we will learn and play a different fiddle tune through combined rote and sheet music instruction, similar to live sessions. Students will be introduced to ways that they can add ornamentation and bowing to get an "authentic" sound. Fiddle tunes will vary in style of Irish, Scottish, Newfoundland, Old-Time, and American Day 1: Old Joe Clark Day 2: Swallowtail Jig Day 3: Ashokan Farewell Day 4: I'se the B'y (Jig) Day 5: Arkansas Traveller Due to the lag that occurs in Zoom, students will be muted for a majority of the playing time. When learning the tune, instruction will be teacher-led through call-and-response. Individual students can volunteer to be unmuted to be the class "response" for the call-and-response if they are interested. Students can feel free to "raise their hand" to ask a question about the piece or general fiddle questions. Students will be given time at the end of class to share their playing with each other if they are interested.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Georgia Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Hi, my name is Ms. Caitlin. I have been teaching private music lessons since 2011. My primary instrument is the violin, but I also play the piano and other string instruments. I have a Master of Music with a major in violin performance from Memorial University of Newfoundland. I also hold a Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Music Education from Stetson University, and I have an active teaching license in Florida for K-12 Music. While the violin is my primary instrument, I also teach string orchestra and piano. Growing up, I was classically trained, but I also play other genres including fiddle, contemporary, and worship, all in addition to playing in my regional symphony orchestra.
I believe that music is for everyone, and my role as a teacher is to help guide the student towards their own goals and successes. I am open to hearing a student's personal interests and questions to guide our learning process.
When I am not playing music, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, and crafting. While I have recently lived in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, I now live in Connecticut and teach in a classroom full-time.

If you don’t see a section of a class at a time that works for you, please send me a schedule request. If you are interested in one of my classes listed outside of your learner’s age bracket, message me about the possibility of creating a class at a suitable age. That said, the youngest I am comfortable teaching online violin is age 7, and the youngest online piano students that I will teach is age 5.Reviews
