Welcome! Learning Fiddle with Irish Music (LFIM) is a series of resources that help beginner through advanced students learn to play the fiddle by way of Irish songs and melodies.  The approach uses three collections of tunes plus a book of supplemental repertoire curated and developed specifically for Irish fiddle.  There are recordings that accompany each of the books so that you can develop your skill of learning by ear, which is the primary way tunes are passed down to new generations. Each book has an emphasis--the first on ear training through song, the second on beginner skills in basic tunes, and the third on establishing rhythm through bowing patterns as tunes are crafted into sets.  Skills are introduced throughout each book to give you forward steps and refinement opportunities. The books take you from beginner to confident player and have a thoughtful approach to continuing your Irish music journey.  I hope you will find the materials useful and rewarding!

**The materials are currently available to my students and students of teachers I've trained. A public release is in development so stay tuned!
