ParticipantI was inspired by Marg, so got the strum machine app and threw myself the challenge of doing a medley. So hard! Good practice at listening though!

ParticipantWasn’t that wonderful! Really smooth bowing and so well done, Kate. Did you choose the songs by key, style or both?

ParticipantThanks for your feedback! I’ve been really working on my bow hold and having a flexible and not rigid hand to work towards smooth changes – a work in progress but finally seeing some improvement. The selection of songs is pretty random, just songs I liked and wanted to improve, or try variation on. The main challenge was doing a set of something and 1. just being able to remember the set songs all the way through and not stopping if I stuff up 2. Actually getting through the set without stuffing up (this is the closest I got and I’m so relieved I finally did it ) 2. Really listening and following the time of strum machine (not changing to my own half way through). It was very challenging – lots and lots of practise!

ParticipantThanks Marg! You were the inspiration with your medley. I think strum machine is a good way to build up speed on songs. I really liked how the songs in your medley interwove so beautifully. That may be a good thing for Jason to teach or discuss – how to compile a complimentary set.

ParticipantThanks, Jason. I’m not sure if there is a particular method of choosing songs to play together in a set. Hope to see you post something with strum machine soon, Patty! It’s a great tool.
