Greetings from
Megan Lynch Chowning
Welcome to FiddleStar - where you can learn to play the fiddle in person or online and shop for great music and instructional materials. You can be a FiddleStar whether you start playing at three or 73.
The Fiddle Capo Workshop Parts One and Two
Megan Lynch Chowning and Maddie Denton present the Fiddle Capo Zoom Workshops! I invented the Fiddle Capo and Maddie Denton (Dan Tyminski Band, East Nash Grass, IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year) has taken it to another level. It's everything you need to not just survive but thrive in a jam where the songs are in all the scary keys. We got together and presented two Zoom workshops on the technique you need to never feel intimidated in a bluegrass jam again. To get either one of them or both, click here.

Take a live private lesson online with me!
If you would like to take a private lesson from me (Zoom or FaceTime, generally) click on the button just below and it will take you to an appointment page where you can choose the day and time and pay for your lesson, all in the same place. The program will also send you a reminder when your lesson is coming up. You can also purchase lessons as a gift for a fiddler in your life.
