Welcome to the Fiddle & Pick website!

Welcome to the new website for Fiddle & Pick. The Fiddle & Pick is home of the Musical Heritage Center of Middle Tennessee at 456 Highway 70 in Pegram, TN at (615) 646-9131). Founded by music educator and Pegram resident Gretchen Priest-May, it is a place where people old and young can come to discover the joy found in making traditional music - mainly, but not limited to, music played on fiddles, banjos, mandolins, guitars and similar instruments - and in particular, music played in the Middle Tennessee region throughout its history. In addition to affordable private and group lessons, the Fiddle & Pick will feature workshops in advanced instrumental study.

This network page will keep you informed on the latest news and events at the center. Feel free to join and network with others, whether you are a current student or not.


Location and Directions

The Fiddle & Pick building is located at 456 Highway 70 by Harpeth Clock & Quilt in Pegram, TN. See Mapquest for more detailed directions.

Directions: The Musical Heritage Center at the Fiddle & Pick is located 22 minutes west of downtown Nashville. Directions from downtown Nashville: It is at 456 Hwy 70 on the corner of Hwy 70 and Hannah Ford Drive. Go I40 West and take the second Bellevue exit; It is exit 196 which says, Bellevue /Newsom Station. Be sure to go Right after taking that exit (which is Hwy 70s in Bellevue). You come to a "T" in the road (a land mark is a "Narrows of the Harpeth sign" and also a newly built one room white steeple church which is in of you when you are at the "T". Be sure to go Left at the "T" (which is also Hwy 70 but going west. Then the first stop light (Hannah Ford Drive) you come to, you are there.

Parking Policy: As we welcome our next door neighbor, the Mud Puddle Art Center, we have implemented a new parking policy. Park in front of or in the back parking lot of the Fiddle & Pick, or park in the train station parking lot, which is huge, across the street. Parents with small children and seniors or other people that shouldn't have to park across the street can use the Mud Puddle lot if all of the Fiddle & Pick parking is full. Never block the passage that goes to the back parking lot. Never, never block the drive that goes to a residence behind the next door building. Please help us be good neighbors by taking this parking request seriously! Thank you!

Thank You

I am so excited about the "NEW ARRIVAL" to the MHC created out of a coordinated, generous and enthusiastic support group who are some of our members that attend various events at the Center.

Last night at the Old Time Jam, Mary Alice Bernal brought a wonderful banner that is a great backdrop for the staging area at the Fiddle & Pick.
It all has a story of how it came about so here's some background: For sometime now, we have had a "make shift" banner that served its purpose that Joel Long t… Continue

Outreach Items: Classical Players Connection (Adult Outreach) ; ALSO a Fiddle and Mandolin "from Scratch" Classes (Kids Outreach)


Classical Players Connection


Adult Outreach Program




My proposed "Classical Players Connection" could meet on the first
and third Sat of the month from 1:00-3:30. There are many seniors
that need a music outlet. This is for adults of any age that would
like to form small chamber groups and brush the dust off of that
stringed instrument and have some fun. The idea is that the center
can provide a "meeting place" for this type of musical forum. I
also would like someone… Continue
