Lessons & Workshops
Fiddle lessons
As a teacher, AJ likes to focus on right and left hand technique, style, and repertoire. He has taught private lessons for 12+ years both in person and online. He enjoys supporting students with old-time, bluegrass, and Cajun fiddling and fiddle technique in general. He likes to meet students where they are at - if that’s regular lessons or just an infusion every so often to dig into certain topics.
Workshops & Camps
Past teaching engagements include Festival of American Fiddle Tunes, American Fiddle Method Camp, Augusta Heritage Center, Folklore Village, Minnesota State Fiddlers Association, Swannanoa Gathering, Ashokan, and others. Topics have included Intermediate and Advanced Old Time Fiddle, Midwestern Fiddle Tunes, Bb Fiddle Tunes, Fiddle Tone and Technique, Twin Fiddling/Harmony, Ensemble classes, and more. As a teacher he is known for clear explanations and pacing that pushes just enough but not too much. Have somewhere you’d like AJ to teach? Contact AJ here.
