Drunken Fiddles

Drunken Fiddles LLC is a music company that teaches adults how to play the fiddle.  Whether you have no experience whatsoever or are wanting to dust off your instrument again, Drunken Fiddles will provide a path to community and musical fulfillment in the form of a fiddle (or cello).  We offer in-person workshops, a 24/7 online music school, international retreats in places such as Ireland, and online intensives.

  • In Person Workshop  (Kansas City, Omaha, Lawrence, St. Joseph, Lawrence) is for adults who would like to learn how to play the fiddle/violin. During the 4 week class participants will learn a new fiddle tune each week in a relaxed group environment. We drink wine, we laugh, we have fun and, most importantly, we fiddle! Each class is taught by violinist/fiddler Laurel Parks (of The Wires String duo) whose background includes classical training, fiddling, composing and improvisation.
  • Fiddle Life Online School is for learners of all ages who want to learn to play fiddle in the comfort of their own home.  Lessons are accessible 24/7 with sheet music cheat sheets, slow practice videos and more.  For $29/month (cancel anytime) you will have access to courses such as Absolute Beginner, Celtic Tunes, Romani, Bluegrass, and more!

"I love Laurel Parks! She changed my life! I had always dreamed of playing music in a band, and performing in front of large crowds, but my extreme stage fright held me back from this dream. Laurel provided me with the perfect tools and methods to overcome this. I was shocked at how quickly my performance anxiety melted away with her help. I highly recommend Laurel Parks to cure your performance anxiety. She is magical and will transform you. I am so very thankful that I am now living my dream as a full-time performing musician! "
