Come and learn to enjoy playing traditional Scottish and Irish fiddle! I'm a Royal Conservatoire Graduate in Scottish Music with 8+ years experience teaching fiddle/violin lessons. Friendly & flexible

When I first met Cameron Newell at a folk-music session, the quality of his playing immediately stood out. Cameron can take any tune and make it sound album-worthy. I soon asked him for tutoring; and after a year in, my fiddle playing has improved immeasurably.

Not only a fantastic musician, Cameron is fantastic troubleshooter. He could surgically pinpoint the problems with my bowing and give careful, friendly instruction on how to rectify these. I am still incorporating his exercises into my everyday usage. The techniques provided have given me more confidence, and helped me leave the skill plateau
I was trapped in.

Unlike several teachers I've had in the past, Cameron does not bash tune after tune. Cameron is emphatic on getting to know tunes, and on modifying your style to fit the music's intent. I enjoy workshopping my current repertoire, bring many tunes beyond just the 'session-ready' state. I especially appreciate being able to "jump into" Cameron's pool of knowledge and learn aspects of fiddling outside the usual tutelage, such as: chopping, harmony, and variations on melody.

I would very-much recommend Cameron to intermediate learners, looking to bring their playing to the next level.

As well as Cameron’s beautiful qualities as a player, his step by step approach, patience and sensitivity are helping me progress to the next level. He is a generous, effective teacher, and I enjoy every one of his lessons.
