Brazos Huval from Breaux Bridge, (bass player for Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys) gives fiddle lessons, he's a very friendly guy and I hear he's a great teacher. I play accordion but I recently bought a fiddle and plan on taking lessons in the near future from Brazos (email me and I can get you in touch with him). Also, Dave Trainer with T'Sale gives lessons at Cite Des Arts in downtown Lafayette call 337-237-7354 or 337-291-1122. Also, in August Louisiana Folk roots with be hosting four classes (one a week for four weeks) with members of the Mamou Playboys. 4 Fiddle classes with David Greely, 4 accordion classes with Steve Riley, or 4 guitar classes with Sam Broussard, call Louisiana Folk roots at 337-234-8360 for more info. I can tell you the cost of all four classes will be $40 for nonmembers and that space is limited to 10 students per class/instructor so if interested get your spot reserved asap.
Thanks guys, big help to get started..Didn't know Brazos gave lessons....I'll talk to him tomorrow night at Nick's...I may look up the guy that you mentioned too, Nick..Thanks as always
After exhausting all the above resources, just show up at the Blue Moon Saloon, and ask around you'll end up with a list comprising half a dozen names before long..... There's also Blake Miller (Larry's grand son) who plays base with the Pine Leaf Boys is also a very good fiddler..Happy fiddling!..:-)
