I have a bad habit of holding my breath while playing, particularly when a tune gets faster. I’ve been doing “fiddle yoga”, concentrating on breathing in and out while playing scales and different rhythms.

I’m bowing challenged! I’m confused about which bowing pattern to use with a reel, jig, polka, etc. and in which style -Irish, Appalachian, etc. I’d like a lesson or two on the possibilities and also some bowing suggestions on the sheet music.
