Having the structure of the Fiddle School curriculum makes practice a lot easier.

If your dream is to find an extraordinary group of people and a welcoming place to improve your fiddling, take Katie Glassman up on anything she is offering.

You will have what you need, whatever your level.

-Andrea G.

I owe 100% of where I am to Fiddle School. I love the supportive, friendly, encouraging environment.

The journey is like being in a luxury hotel with all the resources and amazing teachers Fiddle School has to offer.

- Margy V.

Katie is one of the most amazing teachers (in any field) I have ever encountered.

I very quickly I came to a place of, 'Maybe it is possible for a person my age to learn to play fiddle.'

-Emily W.

[Katie] is an outstanding teacher and takes you on a step-by-step, thoughtfully crafted journey to find your full potential on the fiddle.

You will learn so much more than you would on your own!

- Deb M.

Recently, I've had unsolicited comments from both my fiddle friends and my family about my fiddling sounding better.

That feels great! 

together!
Let's set your goal

Your next step is waiting for you at Fiddle School… I hope you’ll give it a try! 

With fellow fiddlers cheering you on, progress happens fast.

There are just as many ways to use Golden Fiddle as there are classes to explore.

As Fiddle School grew, I added live classes and webinars. This blossomed into Golden Fiddle, our “fiddle gym” membership offering musical fitness and coaching. Get the feedback you crave by taking our live classes, or watch them later on your own time! Or, join a guided coaching journey through our online academy. 

But perhaps the best part of Fiddle School is the people. Whether you're exploring jazz improv or playing your first fiddle tune, you’ll feel right at home in our incredible community.

Our sequential method provides tools and techniques to improve at any level, and clear goals you can actually meet.

Since 2017, Fiddle School's Online Academy has brought you self-paced lessons, 24/7, wherever you are in the world.

Helping you reach your musical potential thrills me more than anything.

I’ve played fiddle all of my life, performed on stages around the world, released 5 studio albums, and won national competitions. Fiddling is my career and my passion, but along the way, I found a special calling: teaching adult learners.
