      This lesson was long overdue for FiddleHed. Simply learning to focus on individual motions can 10x your playing quickly. It also can be fun and physically enjoyable.

      Great! I’ve been learning tunes by playing them over and over again trying to build up “speed” and wondering why I’m getting worn out and frustrated—I will take heed with what you stated here. Thanks, r.

      Yes!!! Breathing into the sound is where I’m able to start sounding good. I’m very physical in my playing… I love to sway and walk while fiddling. If you’ve seen Mozart in the Jungle, the woman in that show is very inspiring!

          Here’s a cool Irish reel called The Girl Who Broke My Heart. Gearing up for St. Paddy’s day ☘️. I love how the B part goes between G and F major. I played it with a G drone. With a lot of folk music, you can use a single drone as backup for the whole song. You can also use drones to practice. TIP: to play faster use less bow, less energy. PS: I teach this tune in the FiddleHed course (the fun way to learn fiddle online  🎻) . . . #fiddletok #violintok #firesidefiddle #learnfiddle #learnviolin #fiddle #violin #oldtime #oldtimefiddle #appalachianmusic #appalachianfiddle #irishfiddle #irishmusic #celticmusic #fiddlelesson #fiddlelessons #violinlesson #violinlessons #bluegrass #Irish #folk #folkmusic #mandolin #diegosumbrella

              Joanne, I loved how you interwove double stops into your improv. They didn’t seem forced at all. Very beautiful and nice bowing as well.

              This Irish polka is a fun beginner tune. Noticing repetition makes it easier to learn: the 1st and 3rd quarters of the A part are the same. Same goes for the B part. And the 2nd and 4th quarter are the same for both parts. #fiddletok #violintok #violinlesson #fiddlelessons #irishfiddle

              Here’s one of my favorite Irish reels call ed Tam Lin. There’s lots of fun string crossing in the A Part. Gearing up for St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ I have two lessons for this in my course, one is a basic lesson and the other you learn how to add variation. Let me know if you have any special requests for St. Patrick’s Day or lessons. #fiddletok#violintok#violinlesson#fiddlelessons#irishfiddle

                  I did it!!!! I learned Wheels on the Bus by ear!! So excited and encouraged. I have to say it took me listening to it repeatedly many, many times. I’m embarrassed to remember how long I spent on it, but it paid off and I’m happy!!

                  thanks, Jason!!
