Your options aren’t as limited as you might believe, but not all will be correct for your situation. Your selection will depend on your learning style and your budget. One of the ones you almost certainly already know about is the option of group instruction. It has a very hands-on approach style that ensures you get at least some of your practicing done. This is one of the better options on a budget.

Another choice you have is private fiddle lessons. These are the most expensive route, and vary widely in price with the experience of the teacher. The benefit of these is they allow you to truly tap into the experience of the teacher. You can go at your own pace and get immediate feedback during the lesson.

There are a few drawbacks to both options though. Should you forget something, you’re more or less out of luck until your next lesson. Additionally, whenever you have a set number of lessons in a certain amount of time, your growth rate is set. If you’re learning slower than expected, you’ll end up wasting money for some of your lessons, if you’re learning faster, your growth is restricted.

The final option doesn’t have these restrictions. It allows you the best of each style for a comparably low price. It is the choice of studying how to play fiddle online. These are set courses and videos designed by masters, outlining the best pathways to success. How fast you progress is entirely up to you as you can watch any lesson again and again or all of them in 1 day.

One particular such course was produced by Eric Lewis of the Manhattan String Quartet. Even if you had the option of getting private lessons from this man, it would no doubt be hundreds of dollars per lesson. But the cost isn’t what you’d expect it to be for such high-quality information. This is because online there is little overhead to deliver the product to you and the fiddle teacher need only invest his time once.

These are complete courses from start to finish with no extras needed, and often for less than the cost of a single private lesson. The primary two I know of costs around $30 total.
