Thanks everyone! Yes the instrument I was playing in that video was a Viola tuned way low because I was trying sing with it. I have other violins tuned correctly.

Ha! You’re right it’s not Circle be Unbroken! It’s an unintended medley, on a big Viola tuned low. I think I mixed it up with Poor Wayfaring Stranger.

Thanks 😊! Violin learning has certainly been different! Since lessons are not in person, it’s difficult to assess progress.

So the videos are important. What I can see is uneven rhythm, a few out of tune notes of course.

Anything else that jumps out? I’m not shy about getting specific tips.

I think the family (and cousins) stuff is unhelpful only because of the lack of specific tips.

“Terrible” is, ha! not practical or actionable criticism. 9ne daughter who plays piano has been good. Takes a musician for sure to give advice.

I’m amazed at the quality I hear from you all!

Thanks! You are correct. I drifted away from the song! I will be confined to my “cave” out back for some time!

Thanks! I watched the bow holding video again. Very helpful!

[Chuck]

Thanks! I do this on other endeavors too….try to “own it” no matter what it looks or sounds like. Hahahaha 🤣

Yes. A big Viola tuned low on purpose for trying to sing an octave down. Re listening to it I perceive it as more of a mess and actually I drifted away from the song to an unintentional medley.
