    Hey thanks, Nick! I missed Sunday’s session as I had to work. Did you make and, if so, what was it like.

    I play piano as well so I think that have given me an advantage. It gets better the longer I use it. Have noticed an improvement over just a little time. Thanks for the Session info on the tune. I love the history of tunes.

    Good job, Mary! Yeah, that is a long one, bravo! Particularly liked your fourth finger placement. Wish I had that kind of dexterity.

      Have been amazed at my improvement using my pinky finger this week. It is getting stronger. Not there yet but it’s coming along nicely. Working on Hobart’s Transformation and Flop Eared Mule. Enjoyed transposing some older tunes into other keys. Great fun this fiddling stuff.

          So, I’m learning how to bow separate one, slur three using Bile me cabbage down. How do I decide when to separate one, slur three, when to slur four (this seems like the best choice to me) and to just separate bows. I am finding it difficult to change the pattern I have already learned. Thanks .

          Sounds like you are doing great. There are some pieces that I seem to move along better on with a bit of a swing to the tempo. I probably should put more thought to…

            Enjoyed the Intermed. Practice last week. Jason sure challenges us. I guess that makes a good teacher. I hope you enjoyed it also. I am working my way through…

              Kate,
              Sounds great your playing with the Ukulele Club! Wish we could do that here, but Covid is still ravaging; sometimes as many as 4,000 deaths/day here in the US….

                  Hey, I’ve been playing a little over a year but only since March with Jason’s program. I am just starting the immediate level lessons. I have played piano and sung for many years so I read music and struggle with ear training.
                  You?

                        Review Tobin’s Jig this afternoon and recorded it with the low fiddle play-along track. Love those and the full track. Thanks, Jason, for making learning to fiddle fun.
