I'm a French Metis & Cajun Fiddle player from Winnipeg Manitoba. Working on my first album in Cajun Fiddle tunes from the 1930's, to be released soon!
I make my own video tutorials in Fiddle - Guitar - Harmonica - Ukulele lessons, or teach on-line with Skype or Face-Time. I learnt to play traditionally by watching and listening to other fiddle players, went home and practised what I heard for hours and hours. I teach traditionally because I want you to hear the notes and how to make that sound, and the trick is to memorize the tune and feel the rhythm within you, and practise for hours!
I have a "Beginner Metis & Cajun Fiddle" program designed just for beginners soon to be released soon, if you've never played a fiddle than this is the lesson package you want to start with. It consist of from knowing the parts of the fiddle, holding the instrument down to playing some beginner Metis & Cajun tunes.
Most lesson's are around 10 to 15 minutes long, with the exception of the package which are depending on the lesson about 1/2 hour to 1 hour long depending. This is a fairly new site which means not all lessons are up and ready, the site was created in the summer of 2019.

FIDDLE:
Many of my fiddle tunes are taught traditionally, that means in the old days you watched and listened to the fiddle player and you tried to sound the same as the fiddle player did. As time goes on, you get better at making it sound the same, the rhythm is a big part of learning the tune, rhythm is almost like the heart beat of the tune.
(All video's are $5.00 each unless posted otherwise)

With Skype and Face-Time, I usually like to meet & greet first at no charge so we can establish a good connection and get to know each other. This way there is no surprise when the lesson starts you'll know who your talking to, it just makes it more comfortable. Plus when the lesson is in session, I prefer the camera aimed at the instrument and your hands so I can see exactly where your hands are placed on the instrument, I found this makes it easier and your not so nervous on the monitor. We'll only see the instrument and hand placement on the instrument. Contact me through this website to find out more about lessons with Skype or Face-time, thank you!
