Focus is on Irish traditional fiddle, emphasis on learning by ear, though will provide sheet music if requested -- and it's handy when illustrating bowing patterns. I accept students of any age and skill level.

Kimden Publishing is dedicated to producing top-notch instructional materials for the fiddle. Kimden Publishing is owned by JayDean Ludiker, a past National Junior and Ladies Fiddle Champion. JayDean has been involved in playing and teaching fiddling for more than 20 years.

All Kimden Publishing instructional materials are written in tablature, where letters and numbers take the place of music notes. JayDean developed her system of tablature to make it easy for people of all ages to play fiddle tunes without having to spend weeks or months learning to read notes. In addition, each book comes with a companion cassette tape. By listening to the tape many times, students are able to learn fiddle tunes quickly as the tunes become familiar to them. The tablature and tape method of learning produces instant results.
