Casey,

Best technical fiddle instructional videos I’ve ever seen anywhere – both in content and presentation.
Thanks for bringing Megan onboard,
Kenny

Great to hear, Pat.

Yeah…wait till you get to lesson seven. I’ve played fiddle for over 40 years and she explained something which I knew but did not know I knew, don’t you know? She’s a great teacher. Many more lessons from Megan to follow…

Casey,

Thanks for publishing the first of Megan’s lessons. She has been one of my favorite fiddlers for many years, plus she teaches in an easy-to-follow manner. I have only gone through her fist lesson on the Nashville Numbering System so far, and I feel like it just doubled my knowledge of music theory😎. I am looking forward to her tune l…[Read more]

Alright, folks. For anyone following this thread and waiting for Megan’s lessons, the wait is over!

Well, the waits over for the first few lessons she recorded, anyway…

Many more to follow, but you can access Megan’s material here going forward: https://www.fiddlevideo.com/category/megan-lynch-chowning/

Cheers!

Very exciting looking forward to Megan lessons

Hi, Bowvalley.

This one will definitely be on Andre’s next session listing…we just need to find a way to get him down for another recording session! This pandemic is putting a wrench in travel!

Thanks much for the kind words, MissElaine. You’re very welcome. Tons more tunes to be published…

Hi, Laurel.

Megan’s tune lesson performance tracks are out to the guitar player…I’d expect the first of those to be published in September. The production team is currently working on her technique tutorials, and most of those don’t require backing tracks…so I’d expect them to start hitting the website in the next couple of weeks.

All the best!

yay! when do you think you’ll publish them? 🙂

This all sounds very exciting! I am really looking forward to these lessons.

No, playing out of tune or even doubting one’s tuning in a session really is no fun.

It’s a matter I wish more people took seriously. And I’ve noticed that, rightly or wrongly, many people assume that fiddle players should be deferred to in matters of tuning, especially if they seem like violinists fiddlers.

Thistle, I am glad the tuning for…[Read more]

Looking forward to the lessons!

Thanks Casey – hope you have as much fun as I did!

Thistle – Wasn’t tired til I got home! Was so out of my comfort zone, I had to try and keep up (was just playing alternate notes in the beginning) but kind of started speeding up after a couple of hours as there is no time to think or second guess yourself – There were 2 other classical ladies in…[Read more]

Sounds SO fun, Aysha!! A bit exhausting, too? …:-)

Yea that video was so valuable to me and made me feel like I had a place to start. Thank you to Megan!

Awesome, Aysha. Sounds like you found your people!! I’m heading out myself for a week-long bluegrass jamming festival this coming weekend. There are great times to be had there! Good job jumping into some jams.

Thx for posting that video, Thistle. Megan just recorded an updated version of the same lesson to be published on this site shortly.

Should have watched this before I went to camp – Great vid….went to camp – had a blast – got shuffled up to the advanced class, I think was based on reading music (felt way out of my league!) Totally awesome people, they packed 6 hours of lessons into each day, 6 teachers rotating every 45 minutes with new tunes, tons of funny old fiddle…[Read more]
