t-rex

Fiddle player in the Boston area.

I studied classical piano and music my whole life, even through college. College, however, opened my ears to traditional fiddle music - my school had a great fiddle club. I heard them, thought, "I have to do this," joined, and fiddle has been my primary instrument (and interest ;) since. I've been playing about 6 years now and have had great opportunities to study and play with some amazing musicians. I mostly play Cape Breton and Scottish tunes, but really enjoy Irish and Quebecois tunes and anything else I can pick up at a session.

I've posted some tunes I've written below. It was a good exercise in learning abc notation, and this was a convenient place to store and share them. I realize that they're not all traditional sounding, but I enjoy writing and playing them nonetheless.
