Frequently Asked Questions
We've got A's for your Q's
How much does it cost?
If you choose to go Pro, your payment of $1297 gets you the regular Celtic music sessions and a year's worth of access to the School Of Celtic Fiddle Mastery community plus a 1:1 onboarding session with a master Celtic fiddle player. You may have the opportunity to upgrade your fiddle playing skills as we build out the Academy, but you don't have to pay anything more if you don't want to.
Does it matter if I'm new to playing in a Celtic music session?
Nope! If you're just getting started, we think this is the best way to start building your skills to playing in a Celtic music session anywhere in the world safely and comfortably. You'll learn a ton about Celtic music tunes, terminology, and even how to improve your technique in our forums.
How do I know it's for me?
Do you love to play the violin or fiddle or another instrument? Then it's for you. We've seen members start off playing tunes for three or four times per week and work their way up to playing in Celtic music sessions within a few months.
How much do I have to participate in the community?
It's totally up to you. We think you'll have more fun if you complete your profile and contribute to the forums, but you can also use the platform as a more straightforward way to shape your musical sound if you'd like.
When can I get started?
Right away! As of Mar 2020, the Academy is up and running and our community is growing each week. In fact, we'd recommend joining as soon as possible—we won't be able to maintain the low introductory price forever.
What kind of challenges can I compete in?
You'll start by choosing the kinds of tune sets you like to do (slow air, jigs, or reels). Then, we'll show you individual and group challenges based on your preferences. You can always change your choices later.
Does my location matter?
You can join the Academy and community from anywhere in the world.
What kind of prizes can I earn?
We're adding new prizes almost every month as we partner with more sponsors. Expect to find chances to win accessories, gift certificates, and even lessons with a top Celtic fiddle player.
A Note from the Founder
How it all started
When I first got serious about joining in a Celtic music group session anywhere in the world, I had two options:
a) Stay at home and play tunes by myself all alone in my exurban community (where celtic music sessions were pretty much unheard of), enjoying the playing but missing any kind of fun and social connection.
b) Spend money and time to travel a couple of hours or more to find a Celtic music session—totally fine, but not my style.
I dreamt of a Celtic music group session that wasn't bound by geography, where it was easy to find other musicians who shared a love of Celtic music. Where there might be talk about the latest tune learnt, and then making plans to join in a Celtic music session over the weekend. Where it was possible to pay as much attention to my goals and milestones as I wanted to.
That's why I created the School Of Celtic Fiddle Mastery community. I hope you'll join us and see how we can make your Celtic music session experience even better.
