A little bit about us


The Gilliam Fiddlers in 1987
Amy, Wendy, Cindy, Chip
Cindy (Gilliam) Miles began playing the fiddle at the age of 12 after her younger sister, Wendy, started taking fiddle lessons from a local fiddle instructor. Eventually, Cindy and her three younger siblings were playing and performing together.

Cindy has been a fiddle and piano instructor since 1983, teaching people of all ages to play. She has competed in fiddle contests and performed throughout the Northwestern United States and British Columbia, winning numerous awards.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Spanish from the University of Idaho and an Idaho Teacher's Certificate with endorsements in grades 6-12 mathematics and Spanish in 1992. Cindy is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi honor societies.
 

The fiddling method in the Old-Time Fiddling series was developed over many years of teaching. Cindy writes the books and plays the instruments on the CD’s while her husband, Russel, is the audio engineer, marketing director, web designer, graphic artist, and publisher.  

Miles Music has been publishing the Old-Time Fiddling series since introducing Book One in 2000. Over 5,500 copies have been sold to music stores, fiddle instructors, and people of all ages across the United States and Canada.


Weippe Prairie in May

Miles Music is located in north central Idaho on the beautiful Weippe Prairie near the small town of Weippe. Russel and Cindy, along with their five children, enjoy making music on the ranch that Russel’s family has owned since 1949.
