The physical aspect of fiddling in the forum Beginner Group 2 years, 4 months agoThanks 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]

The physical aspect of fiddling in the forum Beginner Group 2 years, 4 months agoHi Caren – @fidil,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing this.
Would it be ok if we shared a link to your post in the member newsletter, to facilitate more folks to see it?Some ideas come to me:
Positioning the instrument to us is something to continuously re-evaluate. Also, getting second opinions, where the person can see your body positioning…[Read more]

The physical aspect of fiddling in the forum Beginner Group 2 years, 4 months agoHi everyone,
I’m relatively new to the fiddle and really delighted to finally get the chance to learn it. So I like to practise a good bit — trying to make up for the decades I missed out on, I suppose — but I’m really feeling it in the auld bones. I was wondering if any of you would like to share your tips on how you’re dealing with that?
The…[Read more]

Tammy Hunsucker posted an update in the group
Beginner Group 2 years, 6 months agoCan anyone help me figure out the tabs to the song One Star in the Night from the classic Christmas tv special: The Little Drummer Boy? The original recording can be found on YouTube, many posts. I can get as far as the third line in the first verse:
“You can hear the music”, but I cant figure out the tabs for the last line: “If you listen with…[Read more]-
Hi Tammy, what a lovely and haunting tune! Your getting well acquainted with it through this process.
I noticed the original recording of tune has multiple flats, so I…-
Thank you so much!! I’ll try this and keep fiddling away!

Hey Tammy, took a look at this song again and noticed, if one has interest to change key, an easier version would start 1 note up:
D0-AL2-0-DL2-0
DL1-AL2-0-DL2-0
DL2-A3-L1-D3-L1-AL2-DL2-L1-0-A0-D3-0-H2
-
And another version that starts 1 note down from original:

Tammy Hunsucker posted an update in the group
Beginner Group 2 years, 7 months agoI have April 17 of this year in my journal as the first day I signed up for Fiddlehed lessons. One of the deciding factors for me to sign up was a phrase that said something like “Where will you be in a year”. Now its six months later and I’m so proud of myself for sticking with learning an instrument! These courses are perfect for the way I…[Read more]

Beginner Group 2 years, 8 months agoHey new fiddle-friends 🎻 I put my instrument down for vacay. It took a little extra gumption, back at home, to get things up and running again. But when I did… I was surprised at how much my fingers remembered without having to think about it too much. I’ve been simmering on the statement “you’re a musician when you practice everyday”. I’ve alwa…[Read more]

What lovely insights, Nicole. Yep it’s pretty amazing what comes back to us from the effort/focus we’ve put in previously. And embracing what brings pleasure 🙂
