    That is so challenging, Steve; a newly composed tune! How did you learn it, by ear or sheet music, or both. The viola sounded really cool. For some reason, I find learning by ear (a section at a time) helps me to remember a tune. I know Jason said that to play and remember a tune one has to listen to it, over and over, till you can sing, hum, or…[Read more]

    As for myself, I practice scales for tunes I’m working on.

    I still practice the pentatonic a lot, adding different types of variation.

    Do you practice scales?

    If so, how?

    What’s your relationship with scales?
    Are they fun, horrible or neutral.

    Do you use scale books?

    How about the scale lessons in the FiddleHed course?

    Or Scale Central? https://fiddlehed.com/practice-tools/scale-central/

    Let me know!!

    I do keep a journal using lists in columns with comments. Some days are discouraging and some are just winners! My fiddle group meets weekly on Zoom where we play something each week for the group. When possible, some of us play chords (on mute) with the fiddler.

    For March, I set the following goals:

      I’m pretty slow in my violin playing and my instructor and I were talking about the best approach to speed up. And your timely email arrived today and now I have more instruction on speeding up. Yay!
