Hello there, my avid fiddler!
My name is Hannah Harris, and I have been helping adult fiddlers get the real feel for Irish traditional music since 2017.
Way back in the day, I realized that classical violin was not my strong suit. Enter in Irish fiddling, and suddenly I found not just my musical voice but also a wonderful community of other musicians who share a love for this tradition! The rest is history!
I'm really looking forward to getting to know you and your musical history as well. The best place for us to connect is in my weekly Sunday newsletters where we chat about a wealth of topics around studying Irish traditional music. You can also book a one-off lesson with me (or more if you like) for specific help around bowing, putting lilt in your tunes, and more!

Find Your Phrasing: Bowing, Ornaments + Variations for every Irish Tune Type
This course is a series of video tutorials on how to phrase a jig, reel, hornpipe, polka (and so on). We're taking one tune, and pulling it apart to try multiple bow patterns, specific places to strategically slur the bow, add an ornament, and pop in a variation. When you learn this methodology for one tune (per tune type) you can then take it and apply it to all the other jigs and reels you know. Optional 1:1 support from Hannah available at checkout.
