    cbFidHed2020 replied to the topic Rosin in the forum All about fiddles 1 week, 6 days ago

    Tom, I find no seasonal differences whatsoever with my rosins in either location. I think there are unfathomable mysteries concerning rosin, and it’s kind of nice to have a few mysteries left in the world.

    I wouldn’t call coastal South Jersey a hot climate. I’m 0 miles from the coast, as the seagull flies, and the Atlantic ocean is one gigan…[Read more]

    cbFidHed2020 replied to the topic Rosin in the forum All about fiddles 2 weeks ago

    Jason’s answered questions about rosin a couple of times somewhere. Here’s what I know: my childhood music teacher taught me to use rosin sparingly. We’d do two, maximum 3, round-trip (frog to tip and back) swipes of the rosin against the bow at the start of each lesson. At the end of practice, wipe the rosin off of the strings and also gentl…[Read more]

    cbFidHed2020 replied to the topic Hector the Hero in the forum Student Video Exchange 3 weeks, 4 days ago

    Hey Tom, I’ve been a FiddleHed for about 8 1/2 months. I’ve actually been in group lessons and breakouts with you, including today’s great Hector the Hero lesson and the breakout room with you and Jill! My FiddleHed name (cbFidHed2020) and Zoom name (“Patchy-Intermediate Lapsed Childhood Violinist”) were different, so you may not have realized.…[Read more]

    Ginny, why don’t you attend Jason’s Office Hours session this Wed, Dec. 16th, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time (which puts us at 2:00 p.m. on the East Coast). Look up Office Hours Central for the link and information.

    If you send your info to him beforehand on that page, maybe you can be chosen to receive live feedback on your technique and…[Read more]

    cbFidHed2020 replied to the topic shoulder rest torture in the forum Practice Questions 4 months, 3 weeks ago

    Thank you for suggesting the Bonmusica, Jason. I’d been considering purchasing one for quite a while, and after reading this I finally took the plunge about a month ago.

    It made an immediate improvement in my vibrato exercises since it allows for more freedom of movement in my hand. I have issues with back pain and it really helped eliminate p…[Read more]

    Jason said: “I often wonder how much students benefit from the tracks that slowly speed up. Would you like to have full versions of a tune at a slow tempo? This might be doable. Re-making all the short loops would take awhile…”

    I’m new here. LOVE everything about your site and your skills as a teacher.

    I’ve been working on “Wagon Wheel” Brea…[Read more]
