Abby Flanagan is a Fiddle teacher in St. Louis, MO. Abby began playing fiddle in the third grade when she was introduced to French Canadian tunes and the local fiddle traditions of Maine. The adjacent tradition known as Old Time has been the focus of her playing as an adult. Her appreciation for fiddle tunes and regional styles is matched by her preoccupation with sound itself, and the phenomenon of the fiddle bow sounding the strings.
A few notes about Abby's teaching: she love's introducing people to the world of fiddle, showing them old tunes that are new to them. She teaches by ear and works on ear-training techniques to help students develop the skills to ultimately learn tunes on their own. Her approach to beginner fiddlers is broad and applicable to a variety of student interests, focusing on bowing technique, melodic ear-training, and intonation. Her approach to intermediate or advanced lessons is geared towards the Appalachian old time tradition and honing an individual sound.
