    Thank You Marge
    I played the bass in college.
    I don’t play it anymore.

    The fiddle is easier to carry and quite a challenge

    Thanks for sharing your videos Steve. We all benefit from reading Jocelyns feedback. I really like the sound of your Viola and it shows how much you developed your playing between the two videos too. Great work! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks for your feedback Jocelyn. Yes, this is a lovely group to play with and we’ve also developed friendships through our love of music. I write some of the harmonies for our music collection. Good to hear that you sing for elders in your community and I hope you can pull a few musicians together to play with soon. I think music is a great way…[Read more]

    Wow, this is great Debbie! As Jocelyn said, it’s inspiring to see you taking your playing to another level. You are doing some pretty tricky techniques there, and really well. Please keep posting your videos.

    Lovely playing John, sounds like you have a good ear for intonation and you look like you’re enjoying the instrument. Do you play double bass as well? Thanks for sharing your video.:)

        Thanks for that Jocelyn!

        I will work through your suggestions over the next while. For the moment I have started experimenting with holding the fiddle in different positions and I’m surprised to notice how even minor changes can affect both the muscle strain and the playing itself positively or negatively. I also got a different shoulder rest…[Read more]

        Although I feel my playing is nowhere near being ready to join a jam group, I have made a connection with a local jam. Oddly enough, this group (Scandi Fiddle Group) is led by a family member (my mother’s second cousin). I found the group on a link from a Facebook group: Old Time Music in New England. Although it will be a few months until my…[Read more]
