Online Student-Led Jam Session
Come ready to jam with other students and enjoy musical connection! Each person will have a chance to lead at least one tune. We’ll have chord charts available so that if you don’t know the tune someone else is leading, yu can still follow along on your fiddle or a backing instrument. This is a great opportunity to jam in a no-pressure learning environment. Plus, it’ll motivate you to polish your own tunes so you’re ready to lead.
Colorado Fiddle Championships
Come support this fiddle contest! Plan ahead to join us on January 11 & 12, 2025 at the National Western Complex in Denver, CO. This was the very first fiddle contest I participated in when I was seven years old, and it remains one of my absolute favorites. It’s well-run and is such a great way to connect with fiddle friends and support the fiddling tradition. Plus, there’s nothing like a fiddle contest to improve your playing in a short amount of time. Learn more about the contest at coloradofiddlers.org.
