Have you been playing for a while and noticed that the hair on your bow has a case of “bed head” and isn’t quite falling into line anymore? Or maybe a bow was gifted to you, but the hair has more gaps than […]

Some good thoughts, Carolyn (@cbfidhed2020). Bowing suggestions do vary a lot depending on genre, personal taste, skill level, etc. I’ll have another look at Module 1.3 as you suggest.
Overall, I am not too concerned about getting it “Right” if there is such a thing. I can strive for some structure, but I much better enjoy the flow from some well…[Read more]

Slow and steady does it! Only completing a few lessons a week, but feel like I’m sounding much better than when I was taking in person lessons 🎻

My first violin teacher (1971)for some odd idea thought I Was trying sell him a used violin. He started me on a intermediate lesson course not first time beginner . Eventually I quit the lessons as my basics were all wrong. FiddleHed restarted me where I should have started a long time ago. A lady from Argentina(2019) was showing the basics in…[Read more]

Maybe one of the more seasoned veterans on this site could comment on the whole bowing thing. The down bow is supposed to be a naturally louder sound to emphasize a beat, but to me up or down sound pretty much the same???
Hi Tom, Jason has a great video on accenting certain beats within the hoe down rhythm that may help with this: Module 1.3,…[Read more]

Same here, Tom, so far as bowing dynamics are concerned. I expect we need more seasoning …

Pretty waltz and nice job, Tom!

Thanks Nick. Lots of moving parts in the Machine for sure: Notes, intonation, rhythm, some embellishments and then trying to use a down-bow to emphasize the first beat of each measure. I pretty much gave up on the last one for now. Probably should have learned the initial song with more attention to bowing, as is is hard to change it after the…[Read more]

Nice work, Tom!
I wish I could get my bow to work like that! [Or maybe it’s me?]
Keep on keepin’ on with that machine!

Here is a tune we have been working on in our Saturday hangouts sessions. (Hi Sue and Mary!) It’s a Canadian waltz by Florence Killen, named after her home community of River John, Nova Scotia.
With apologies to dancers who may have to throw in an extra step or two when the timing takes a it of a stutter.

Joanne, I really like this. Good tone and ornamentation, plus a nice driving rhythm with momentum. Those tunes blend really, too.
