Bridget Morton commented on the post, Optimism 1 year, 9 months ago
If hope is a virtue, then optimism is surely a choice. I’ll even go so far as to suggest optimism is a kind of practice, an essential discipline. Optimism sees that some thing or situation can be made better, & then works on that improvement. Like many others here, I picked up my fiddle late. I’m not aiming for Carnegie Hall or the Grand Ole Opr…[Read more]

Advanced Beginner Group 2 years, 3 months agoHey, Advanced Beginners! I just wanted to check in with everyone. For unknown reasons, I hit a slump in my fiddle practice in the last week.

Shucks – I’m sorry I missed it. Our school days were extended due to an abundance of snow days in December and it’s been busy. I can’t make the next one either 🙁 because of the school schedule. Darn! Are you all practicing a specific song?

And here are a couple of the note cards I’m making for the tunes I know. This process is really helping me ‘hear’ the tunes better. Something about writing the notes as I hum is helping me musically.-

Here are the practice cards I made after our practice session last Monday. I have 16 so far on this little ring, which I just happened to have waiting for a great project. And I’ve used them already! -
