From Solution to Program

In March 2020, when schools around the world shut down, FiddleQuest began the Homebound Fiddle Sessions.

​

Homebound Fiddle Sessions started as a temporary solution to the isolation and loss of school routine which made practicing between violin lessons difficult. However, the program quickly turned into a regular gathering of students from 6 - 80 years old, from Oregon to Poland. These online fiddle sessions for students and teachers were held daily for 18 months.

Which One?

You can choose any group you want! If you're a slower player who wants to live life in the fast lane, no problem. Just remember that you'll probably only get some of the song.

After 18 uninterrupted months, Homebound Fiddle Sessions had its last daily class in June 2021. Teachers and students took a break over the summer but will return in Fall 2021.

​

Now that students are back in school, rather than having 5 short sessions during the week, there will be a single, hour-long session on Saturdays. 

​

The session will be 8 AM Pacific Time/11 AM Eastern Time/5 PM Poland time. 

​

These sessions will be recorded and made available immediately after the session is over, so students will have access to the lesson even if they have a conflict that week.  

​

There will be fun Homebound activities, including a virtual cook-out, a Round-Robin meme-off, a practice challenge (complete with practice chart), and plenty of games. 

​

What does it cost?

The Homebound program will be available for $20/month.

What is included?

Here's what you get for your Homebound membership:
