Using your LAPTOP or DESKTOP computer, ideally with the Chrome browser, go to www.fiddlehellonline.org to set up your Whova account and sign in to Fiddle Hell Online once you've registered. At that website, where it says "Don't have an account?" click "Sign up here". Sign in with the same exact email address used for your PayPal payment, and create a new password. If you prefer to use a different email address, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

For iPads or other mobile devices, DO NOT follow that link! First, download the Whova Event & Conference App, then use the App to establish your Whova account, and only then look for the Fiddle Hell Online event in the App. Since the live part of FHO is over, you may have to look at "prior events".

Whova is how you will view sessions on the agenda, download handouts, see messages and announcements, visit the virtual exhibits, and (optionally) connect with other attendees.

If you are asked for an "invitation code" when first setting up your Whova account, it's usually because you're using a different email address than the one you gave when you bought your FIddle Hell Online ticket. Please try again, using the same email address you gave when you bought your FHO ticket.  If you prefer to use a different email address, This email address is being protected from spambots.

If you are asked for an "invitation code" when you're using an iPad to set up your Whova account, make sure to download the Whova Event & Conference App first and use the App to set up your account. Then you should be able to see Fiddle Hell Online right away as one of "My Events" or you can seach for it in "Find My Event". Even if you plan to view FHO with an iPad, it's easier to set up your Whova account first with a laptop or desktop computer if you have that option. 

1. Sign in if you haven’t already (using your email address and Whova password) to Fiddle Hell Online at www.fiddlehellonline.org. 
   
   If you haven’t yet set up a Whova account, click on the blue “sign up here” text, type in the same email address you used in buying your Fiddle Hell Online ticket, and create a new password. 
   
   
2. You will see the Home page of Fiddle Hell Online on Whova, with a big banner, words of welcome, and a menu on the left. Here are the magical menu choices to help you navigate to different parts of Fiddle Hell:

3. Click on Agenda on the menu to get a Full Agenda of all sessions. As you look at the sessions, you can make your own agenda by clicking on "Add to My Agenda" on the right of a session. Next to the words “Full Agenda” at the top, click on “My Agenda” to see only those sessions you have added to “My Agenda”. Click on “Full Agenda” to go back to seeing everything. 
   
   
4. You can filter sessions at the top left. Where it says “Filter by tracks” click on “Tracks” at the top to turn off all checkmarks, and then select the tracks you want (by type, style, level, instrument). Click “Tracks” at the top again to turn off filtering. You can also choose the day just below that – Thu, Fri, Sat, or Sun.  
   
   
5. You can search for sessions across all days at the top middle search box. This is very helpful - it finds titles, instructors, and descriptions. If search doesn’t show what you expect, turn off filtering (#4 above). If you want to see sessions for a particular instructor, enter all or part of their name.
   
   
6. When you see a session of interest, click on the View Session button to read more about it or to view it after it has happened. When you’re viewing a particular session, you can add it to or remove it from My Agenda or Like it.  You can experiment to see what Show Agenda and Hide Agenda will do. At any time, you can click on Agenda in the menu column to restore the initial Full Agenda view.
   
   To view a replay of a session (whether or not you attended it live), click on View Session from the Agenda. The video will be visible and you can click on the play icon in the bottom left. 
   
   When viewing a session video, you can pause it in the bottom left, or make it full-screen in the bottom right. If you click on the Settings icon (looks like a little gear) in the bottom right, you can slow the video to half or three-quarter speed without changing the pitch! You can click on another menu item and your video will pop into a different window so you don’t lose your place in it. 

No, it's not. As at in-person Fiddle Hell, each registration is valid for only one attendee at Fiddle Hell Online. Any additional household member or friend wishing to watch any concerts, workshops, or jams also needs to register. At a time when musicians' gigs have largely disappeared, Fiddle Hell Online pays all instructors, performers, and technical staff, and we rely on your registration fees to do this. Please respect the artists who are at the heart of Fiddle Hell Online by asking your friends and family to register.

Please send a check in the mail to Fiddle Hell Massachusetts LLC, P. O. Box 316, Lexington, MA 02420-0316, and let us know who it's for, their age categories, and their email addresses. We'll register them and send further instructions to their email addresses. Each attendee needs a unique email address to register.

This process can take a while (time for the check to arrive, time for Dave to get to the P.O. Box, etc.). To speed things up, as soon as you mail the check, This email address is being protected from spambots.

We trust you, and will register the person even before the check arrives! And we'll send a confirmation back to you. 

We have a very limited number of partial scholarships available to those who can't afford the fee for video replay access through August 11, 2022. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to describe your request and circumstances.
