“One of the best investments I've made to improve my playing. Hannah's course is well thought out, professionally presented, and the wealth of tips and tricks she offers will take your playing to the next level. I highly recommend it!”
— Clayton Peters, Find Your Lilt® Alumni
If any of the above descriptions are something you've felt recently when it comes to your fiddling, I highly suspect you'd get a lot out of this course! Let's do a mini exercise to check this!
I can promote this course all day long, but in the end I’m a bit biased! So to help you decide if Find Your Lilt® is a good fit for you I asked my student, Bill Cline, if he would take a couple minutes to talk about how the course has helped him. Watch his story below!
This is a pre-recorded course, so you can move through the material at your own pace without needing to attend any live calls or commit to showing up at a certain time each week. That being said, it is beneficial to set aside specific time to dedicate to completing the course -- you get to determine when that time best fits you and your schedule. :)
You'll receive:
“This is an excellent course that I strongly recommend for people who want to take their playing to the next level. Hannah presents an organized approach to develop a strong foundation of skills so you can continue to learn and grow as a fiddler.”

My name is Hannah Harris, and I am so excited to work with you!
I practice what I preach, and every single exercise in this course is something that has helped me along my own fiddling path.
You see, I started off as a classical violinist. Despite taking Suzuki lessons from age 5, I couldn’t play a roll well until I was 20. Up until 2014, I was self taught. When I began attending workshops and events like the Swannanoa Gathering, I started to see real progress. Having an instructor guide me through my fiddling obstacles, even for a short period of time made all the difference.
I went from having zero lilt, and a jerky uncoordinated bow to the loose, fluid motion you see in my videos today. I love these live events, and plan to attend them again, but the thing that most excites me about this course is that I’m able to turn around and give you what the instructors at Swannanoa gave me. And the best part is we don’t have to wait for July to come around, or any other specific time to take action and get results. That time is now. And thanks to technology we can connect and move the needle forward on your fiddling goals from wherever, whenever we want!
I look forward to connecting with you personally inside of Find Your Lilt®.

Find Your Lilt® is back and better than ever in its 2.0 version! I'm so excited you're interested in this course, so please do click around in the teaser module to see what all is included in this experience -- or dive right in by clicking the button below!
If your bow arm is feeling less than relaxed, and the amount of wrist movement some fiddlers achieve is boggling your mind, then this is where we'll be addressing that! You'll learn exercises to encourage smoother wrist movement, which in turn will benefit all the other elements you're working on: tone, rhythm and phrasing.
Time to get groovy! If I'm doing my job right, you won't be able to get these rhythms out of your head -- which is exactly where they need to be if you're aiming for better consistency in your tunes! This module contains rhythm playalong exercises for every tune type within Irish music (yes even hop jigs and mazurkas).
Phrasing is the last of our core essentials for good Irish fiddling. This is where you start to transition from the bare bones structure into self expression, personal style, and your truly unique voice and lilt. You'll get lots of bowing and emphasis suggestions, which you can use as the building blocks in creating a style that honors the tradition and also puts your own spin on it.
By this point in the course, you may need a little rest and reminder of why you're putting this effort into learning how to master the feel of Irish fiddling. Consider this your pitstop -- a chance to process all you've learned and gear up for how to use your newfound skills going forward. You've got this, friend!
You've completed the course, absorbed a lot of information, played a bunch of exercises and done a lot of self assessment. So what do you do with all this now? I've got a few suggestions on how to continue your skill development, whether that's on your own, in a group, or with me -- there's a next step for everyone!
