The physical aspect of fiddling in the forum Beginner Group 2 years, 4 months agoHi Caren – @fidil,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing this.
Would it be ok if we shared a link to your post in the member newsletter, to facilitate more folks to see it?Some ideas come to me:
Positioning the instrument to us is something to continuously re-evaluate. Also, getting second opinions, where the person can see your body positioning…[Read more]

The physical aspect of fiddling in the forum Beginner Group 2 years, 4 months agoHi everyone,
I’m relatively new to the fiddle and really delighted to finally get the chance to learn it. So I like to practise a good bit — trying to make up for the decades I missed out on, I suppose — but I’m really feeling it in the auld bones. I was wondering if any of you would like to share your tips on how you’re dealing with that?
The…[Read more]

Beginner Group 2 years, 6 months agoCan anyone help me figure out the tabs to the song One Star in the Night from the classic Christmas tv special: The Little Drummer Boy? The original recording can be found on YouTube, many posts. I can get as far as the third line in the first verse:
“You can hear the music”, but I cant figure out the tabs for the last line: “If you listen with…[Read more]-
Hi Tammy, what a lovely and haunting tune! Your getting well acquainted with it through this process.
I noticed the original recording of tune has multiple flats, so I…-
Thank you so much!! I’ll try this and keep fiddling away!

Hey Tammy, took a look at this song again and noticed, if one has interest to change key, an easier version would start 1 note up:
D0-AL2-0-DL2-0
DL1-AL2-0-DL2-0
DL2-A3-L1-D3-L1-AL2-DL2-L1-0-A0-D3-0-H2

And another version that starts 1 note down from original:

Tammy Hunsucker posted an update in the group
Beginner Group 2 years, 7 months agoI have April 17 of this year in my journal as the first day I signed up for Fiddlehed lessons. One of the deciding factors for me to sign up was a phrase that said something like “Where will you be in a year”. Now its six months later and I’m so proud of myself for sticking with learning an instrument! These courses are perfect for the way I…[Read more]

Beginner Group 2 years, 8 months agoHey new fiddle-friends 🎻 I put my instrument down for vacay. It took a little extra gumption, back at home, to get things up and running again. But when I did… I was surprised at how much my fingers remembered without having to think about it too much. I’ve been simmering on the statement “you’re a musician when you practice everyday”. I’ve alwa…[Read more]

What lovely insights, Nicole. Yep it’s pretty amazing what comes back to us from the effort/focus we’ve put in previously. And embracing what brings pleasure 🙂
