Intermediate-level improvisation:  Designed for the student who is ready for the next step after they are getting comfortable with our “one scale fits all” approach featured in the “Jammer” level materials and found in the original Fiddle Jam Book.  “Gigger” level is where we really start to go “Beyond the Book!”  A-toodz level 2 exercises take you into blue notes and increase your coolness factor.  Music Mechanics lessons introduce how to improvise over simple “I-IV-V” Roots Music Chord changes.  “Tater-ing” and special training to get you prepared to actually play real electric violin gigs by “sitting in” for pay!
