[my] Talent Forge is LIVE!

fiddle lessons matthew hartz vi the fiddler wickam - photo by Christina GressianuI am super excited to let you all know that the project I have been working on for the last 3 months is finally ready for business! I have been working with Matthew Hartz and we have both been hard at work, me creating all of the technical infrastructure, and Matthew churning out over 30 lessons for your musical edification.

Talent Forge is an online music school that is starting out with fiddling instructional videos from Matthew and myself. We will soon be expanding our lessons to offer lessons from other teachers. And, we have all sorts of other cool plans in the works that I can’t wait to tell you about.

We will only be taking 50 initial members in our Charter Members program, so if you want to study with me, Matthew, and other top musicians, signup now.

Each Lesson includes:

  • Lesson Video
  • Slow and Fast Lesson Audio
  • Slow and Fast Lesson Accompaniment
  • Sheet Music or Tablature and chords (Many Lessons, but not all)
