Hey Kayla,

Thanks for saying that! Messages like this keep me going…

Omg — this is ME! I love music so much that I always want to play tunes that are way beyond my ability!!! Thank you for the reminder and the encouragement. PS – It was a challenge for me play Oh Susanna that fast… but I finally got it 🙂

Jason — Thanks so much! This is what I’ve been looking for, and it’s working!! I WANT to enjoy each practice and I also WANT to sound better NOW. These workable ideas are already helping me improve. A gazillion bazillion thanks!

I bought my first violin about 6 0r 7years ago and watched a few of your lessons on my phone. I was still working full time then and didn’t continue. I”m now semi-retired. I only work 4 1/2 days per week so I now have time for my fiddle!. This letter has really encouraged me. “Assume you will get better” was the best thing I’ve read. But I am still struggling to organize my practice. I have become addicted to my fiddle and can get very grumpy if I don’t get me fiddle time. Thanks for all you work making learning this beautiful instrument fun; difficult but fun!

As an intermediate beginner with 15 years of self-taught fiddling, I am working through your beginner’s series and starting to rekindle the fire. New methods of practice. I can play all these tunes if not by ear but find myself struggling with some of the adaptation (Hoe down eek). This is helping. Started a journal (a tip from your office hours yesterday). hope to keep this up. Thanks, Jason

This is great advice! I have a friend who always want me to play songs way to difficult. When I do I sound terrible and then get discouraged. This course has been wonderful for me. Thanks Jason & Jocelyn
