    That was very good, Marg; a nice light touch, fine tone and timing, and you sway to the beat as well….Hip-Hip!!

    I’ve been playing for about 6 years. Playing in our band has given me a lot of confidence. I really like posting here, it’s another way to practice with an “audience”. Thank you!

    This is my ‘end of the Spring Practice Challenge” video. I was inspired by Jason’s Practice Journey on Breton Gavotte and had already started to work on it. He had some great suggestions to expand on the tune, so I thought I’d experiment with these ideas and try to string them together.

    Beautiful playing Sally, you have a nice rich tone there.
    I think we would all agree that recording ourselves is confronting, but you did a great job. It’s so encouraging to know that there are others out there who are doing the same thing and we’re all learning and challenging ourselves together. 🙂

    Jocelyn,

    Thank you for sharing this. I love the music by Vasen and that nyckelharpa is such an interesting instrument.

    I would love to hear your audio file. When I try to play it, or even download and play it, on my iPad I get no sound whatsoever and an error message accompanying the file.

    This is a waltz I composed. It also has a second violin part. My band, The Oyster Crackers, play it with our cello playing harmony and 2 guitars.

    Thank you I am new to the fiddlehed community. When I press record my brain goes and so do my fingers…it can only get better.

    Well done, Sally! It is scary to record yourself, but it is such good practice. I love that song.

    Patty, that was really good. I loved the second string crossing to the lower octave; sounded so cool. A good flow throughout! A special song, I think.
