Lessons
“Kenny Jackson is one of the best! He is able to break down knowledge of his craft for the beginner to understand, and can teach at any level. I am a beginning fiddle player, and while I am in awe of his musical skill, I still find him to be an encouraging, clear, and excellent teacher. ”

— Sue West

I’m excited to tell you about a new project I've been working on that extends my old-time fiddle instruction into a new space. And now I can tell you…
 
 
Here's what that means in practice:
 
For $5 a month — the Just in Tune tier — you'll get advance access to my Fiddle Repertoire Video Project, in which I'll be working my way through every old-time fiddle tune I know. These aren't tutorials, but there's a lot to learn from watching and listening closely. Each video comes with my notes on the tune's sources, a few reflections, an mp3 download of the tune, and links to related recordings and other resources. Two or more new videos every month, and you'll always see them before the general public. And these videos will form a growing archive that you’ll have access to, that will be well-organized in collections and by keyword tags.
 
For $10 a month — the Catching the Tune tier — you get everything above, plus structured monthly tutorials where I break down a Featured Tune phrase by phrase with close attention to bowing technique, audio-only downloads of the lessons, fiddle tablature, chord charts for when you get together with your rhythm buddies, access to the complete and growing archive, and Community Chat where members can interact with fellow fiddlers and ask questions, and opportunities to weigh in on member polls.
 
This is a project I've been working toward for a long time, and if it sounds like something you'd want to be part of, I'd love to have you join me on Front Porch Fiddle.
 
And if you know someone who loves old-time fiddle music, I'd be grateful if you'd pass this along. Word of mouth is everything at the beginning.
 
Thank you for being here—I really mean that.
 
Warmly,
Kenny
 
For the time being I'm not accepting new private students. I'll keep you updated here of any change in that status.
