Bluegrass Fiddle for Beginners (Roosevelt)


Adult Enrichment / Music & Performance -
Adult Enrichment Winter 2025

Fiddle has a big role in bluegrass music, and is great fun to play. If you're a beginner at fiddle, bluegrass, or both, you are welcome to this class and we'll start from zero. We will cover lots of music theory for bluegrass fiddle to help you get started, and touch on the basics of how bluegrass jams work. The playing techniques are applicable to any kind of music, but we will focus on songs and tunes that might get played at a bluegrass jam. All you need to bring is a fiddle, a bow, and a tuner.

If class is full, please enroll in the waitlist. We will contact you if a space becomes available.

This class is priced on a sliding fee scale. Please pay the price you are able. This helps to ensure that Community Education can provide quality opportunities for all of our participants.

Matt Jensen

Matt Jensen (Minneapolis, MN) plays and teaches bluegrass mandolin,

guitar, fiddle, banjo, and upright bass. When he retired he fell in

love with playing music with other people in bluegrass, old time, and

sessions. He now performs with several duos and trios, and jams most

days of the week. He leads a bluegrass beginners jam and one for

learning bluegrass fiddle tunes. Remembering how difficult and scary

it can be to start playing music with other people, he works to create

jams that help people get started and enjoy playing right from the

get-go.
