Mitch Reed Music Lessons

Besides offering private lessons, group classes, and online fiddle breakdowns I have taught at Fiddle Camps hosted by Jay Ungar, Mark O’Connor, and Louisiana Folk Roots. In addition I have worked with the Smithsonian Institution Office of Folklife Programs in Louisiana schools as well as International conferences since 1989.

I recently retired from 11 years on the road with BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet and moved from Louisiana to Maine with my wife and our family. I now travel between my two Music Academies proudly passing on the unwritten tradition of Cajun fiddling and storytelling, while drawing connections between the cultures of Acadia and Acadiana.

Seeing my students "get it" is my greatest reward.
