The violin sings, but the fiddle dances. Or so the old saying goes! In teaching fiddle, I love to bring essential violin technique together with the various styles of diverse music. In the first few lessons we'll explore the style of fiddle you'd like to play and create a path towards that sound. As time goes on, you'll be ready to jump into a bluegrass jam circle, start a ceili or shred like Lindsey Stirling! The direction you take is up to you, and I'm excited to help you meet your goals!

Want to learn bluegrass, old-time, western swing, country or Irish fiddling? With 18 years playing fiddle and 10 years teaching, I have the experience to help a beginner gain basic skills or an advanced student analyze bowing patterns, moving double stops, backup and improvisational skills and ideas and more. From the student who is picking up the fiddle for the first time to the fiddler who’s been playing their whole life, I hope to inspire a love for traditional fiddle music and culture.
About Cody

Many of my cousins started learning traditional instruments around the same time and we had a lot of fun jamming at family gatherings and at music festivals in our home state of Indiana. In 2015 I was proud to carry the family tra

Some people mistakenly believe that there is a difference between a violin and a fiddle. However, truth be told, a violin and fiddle are actually the same instruments. The only difference lies in how you play the instrument. Playing the fiddle refers to a certain style of violin playing, most often associated with folk, bluegrass, and country music.
Learning to play fiddle music can be absolute delight, but it may require some special instruction. Whether you are new to the violin and still learning the basics or an avid violin player looking to expand your musical horizons, check out our online fiddle lessons. Here at TakeLessons, our certified instructors have the knowledge and experience to help you fiddle your way to success.

A musician playing folk, bluegrass or country, for example, would most likely refer to their instrument as a fiddle; those who play other genres (jazz, classical, etc.) typically call theirs a violin. …
