Tips for Playing Faster
“Katherine Moller knows how to break a tune down into bit size pieces and gives you the full meal deal with all the scales, arpeggios, background technical info you need. Play in style with Fiddlekickstart.”
Louise Herle, Sunshine Coast, BC“It was affordable, questions answered, well structured, material always accessible, new friends made and Katherine always smiles. For listening, Katherine's fiddling is so enjoyable and you will soon have some favourites. I would definitely recommend this course. ”
Diane Barlow, MaineThere is none. You can't return knowledge, so refunds are not available.
The platform I am using is in USD, so that is what we are going with even though I live in Canada.
If you have time to watch a 30 minute TV show, you have time to learn to fiddle! If you can put in 20 minutes 4-5 times a week, you can learn to fiddle!
