    Thank you, Eimear! The baby seal is my favourite as well, but the baby donkey and the hairy coo are close second and third.

    Those songs and pics really make me want to hop over the pond again soon.

    Hey @jameseke, good playing. Tone is full and you really hear the melody. It’ll be good to hear progress as you continue to practice this.

      Thank you both Carolyns. I like the term “lonesome sound”. I would love to be playing those tunes at some of those lonesome beaches and cliffs included in the video.

      The vid of me was the first take, so I let the occasional flub go. That left more time for adding slides. I use Adobe Premiere Elements for editing videos, so it was actually not too…[Read more]

        I’ve started using these techniques in my practice. Please consider doing a lesson on transposing to a minor key. I need some help with that one!

        • Profile picture of jason kleinberg
          jason kleinberg replied 5 years, 1 month ago

          Good idea @debhill

          Here’s a quickie lesson on how to do it.
          -Play a major key tune.
          -Play its major scale.
          -Play the minor (Aeolian) scale (lower the third, sixth, seventh steps)
          -Sub out those notes as they fall in the tune.

          Have fun…

        FiddleHed Group 1 Intermediate ( 3 members created during the first breakout group session) are practicing this tune, some suggested variants, and / eventually the variations with double stops, etc. It is quite fun and quite challenging! We are going to continue next week.
        Thanks, Jason and team!!!!!

        Just finished watching the video. Excellent suggestions! Even though I’ve been playing flute, piano for decades (teach and perform both), practicing does seem like ‘work’ sometimes, especially now when we can’t play with live people -although we’re starting to see a light at the end… Yay! Now I’m going to try them out.🎶😊

        Love all these suggestions! Have done a lot of them, but I need to practice playing things way over there in the minor key more.
        I’m sure you talk about this somewhere else, but I also love to swing the beat when I’m trying to wrap my head around a new tune… sometimes I just like them better that way anyway.
