About
Foundations
My name is Candace Fiedler and I love teaching music! I have been teaching band and choir in the public school system for 4 years and created Fiddle Stix LLC to allow me to stay at home with my son while still doing what I love. Since I was in college, I have always loved teaching preschool level music classes- seeing young students explore and discover the world of music and all it has to offer is one of the greatest parts of my day! While teaching in public schools, I realized just how hard it can be to get all students into individual band lessons. Only having 15 minutes a day with some students seemed to never be enough! I often wished I could offer them more time, especially during honor band audition and prep season. Now that I have Fiddle Stix, I can combine all of those passions and help students reach their full music potential.
Who teaches the lessons?
I do! My name is Candace Fiedler and I have been involved in all things music for as long as I can remember.
I have a Bachelor in Music Education from South Dakota State University
I teach in public schools, soon to be in year 5.
My favorite part of music education has always been finding that musical talent in a student and helping them grow to their full potential. I believe music to be a necessity in a child's learning. After all, music is something that can bring us all together.
What if I have to CANCEL a lesson?
If you have to cancel a lesson, there will be no cancellation fee if the following criteria are met:
Cancel a minimum of 2 hours before a lesson begins
Reschedule your lesson within 5 days of the missed lesson
If you have to cancel a lesson and the above criteria are not met, you will be charged a cancellation fee equal to half the price of your scheduled lesson.
Please ensure you are always on time to your lesson. If you are more than 15 minutes late, your lesson will be considered canceled and you will be charged a cancellation fee.
Why take lessons at Fiddle Stix LLC?
Many schools in the area require 2 years minimum of piano lessons if a student wants to learn percussion.
Some of the area schools are unable to provide individual lessons, and only group lessons. Individual lessons allow a teacher to give more specific aid in a student's musical growth.
After a certain grade level, some schools discontinue lessons. Lessons with me can include working on auditions and music for honor bands, technical skills specific for your instrument, or music for solo & ensemble events. There is more opportunity to grow when taking supplemental lessons outside of school.
