Welcome to Appalachian Music, a service that specializes in live performances and instruction in traditional Old Time fiddling and stringband music, and resource center for Old Time music news and information.

If you're looking for entertainment to fit a traditional rural American setting, nothing is more charming and captivating than the sounds of an Old Time fiddler. Add a banjo for melodic accompaniment and a guitar for rhythm and you've got a band for all occasions. You may hire our musicians for everything from birthday parties and weddings to festivals and square dances.

Our school programs will open the doors to a house of musical treasures. Students will hear the many varieties of American music played on guitar, banjo, and fiddle, demonstrating contributions from a multitude of cultures and generations.

Learn to play fiddle, banjo, guitar or mandolin in the Old Time style. Just like in the old days, tunes are taught by ear. Playing music is as engaging as any interactive computer game on the market, and more fun than you can imagine.
