- I’ve got everything you need (except the fiddle — you’ll bring that part!).

Why Learn to Fiddle with Red Desert Violin?
Learn to Play Violin…with Fiddle Tunes!
Fun and Gratifying!
You’ll have so much fun in this course, you won’t realize how much work you are doing. You will begin to enjoy results right away.
Keep Your Options Open
Most methods teach classical violin as a pre-requisite to fiddling OR they dive into fiddling with no technical instruction. This course gives you both, and will allow you to diversify to other styles later.
You're in Good Hands
You will learn lots of fiddle tunes, sure, but master teacher Lora Staples will also teach you essential technique that will help you to sound GOOD plus keep your options open to play ANY style later on!

What Red Desert Violin Students Are Saying
People just like you are learning to play the violin with my lessons.
You’re fun! You have ways of teaching that suits me and my learning abilities. I can take my time, go at a pace that allows me to have a life also. You know, work and such. If I feel I want to take 2 weeks, or even more, to do a week lesson, well, so be it. You aren’t yelling at me to hurry up and get it already.
I did a lot of research before I settled on you. There are many choices for computer aided violin instruction out there. You were the most human, most fun, most real.
And it’s really happening. I actually enjoy practicing for the first time in my life, and I’m 54. LOL It’s because the way Lora breaks it down, it’s do-able. You are able to take each little skill and see how and where you need to fix it. Then all the little skills fit together like a big puzzle that I finally realize is POSSIBLE for me to ACCOMPLISH. This is a very fun approach. THANK YOU

What if I get stuck and need help?
This is one of Red Desert Violin’s most valuable features. Ask your questions through email or in the comments and I will personally answer your question. If you need tech support, our very kind and patient tech guru, Beth, will get you on track.
What if I take longer than six months?
That is FINE. You have up to two years after your last payment to complete this course. I want to PUSH you to avoid “stalling out” or getting stuck. So I want you to push yourself, but also take the time that you need to absorb these important skills.
What if my private teacher disagrees with what you teach me?
Any good teacher recognizes multiple approaches to common topics. Most teachers will applaud your resourcefulness, because private lessons time is limited, and if you are able to address issues outside lesson time, it leaves more time for your teacher to work with you.
Can I go faster than the pace you recommend?
Absolutely. My course is structured on the average private student I have witnessed. You may need to go slower or faster for your own needs.
I am a teacher, and I have a student who needs this course. How should I proceed?
I would suggest that both you and your student purchase the course. You will want to have access to the same lessons your student is watching so you can help them. After you go through the course once, you will know exactly how to help future students.
What if I don’t have a private teacher?
If you need help finding a GOOD private teacher, I can help you. But if you are self-instructing, keep in close contact with me and ask questions. I work very hard to be the next best thing to private, in-person instruction.
Do I need to buy music?
Nope! Printable sheet music is included with your course materials.
How long will I have access to my lessons?
You will have access to all of the lessons for two full years after your final payment. After that, you can purchase extended access for as long as you want for only $30 per year.
