At Medicine Bow Studio the violin and fiddle meet in happy harmony. What’s the difference? The style of music! To put it simply, when playing classical styles many refer to the instrument as a violin, and when playing folk styles, it is often referred to as a fiddle.

Lessons here are taught with the philosophy that music is bigger than any one style or method, and that the process of learning to play offers many life enriching benefits to students of all ages. I offer my students the opportunity to study fiddle, Suzuki violin (a classical method) or a combination of both. Lessons at Medicine Bow focus on the skills needed for any style: proper technique, ear-training, patience, and of course, finding the joy in playing. This holistic approach lets the student follow their musical inspiration.
