Hi
I’m new here, just reached 1.9 and I’m in northern New Brunswick, Canada.
Seems there are quite a few members but not much happening. Can anyone update me on Zoom Tuesday? Does it/Did it ever take place?

Doing a review of first level tunes I discover that Little Liza Jane was way way too fast. Even now that I’ve been here several months I find the last part of the play-along track too fast. Anybody else?

Hello folks,
Two days ago I joined this group. I kind of expected a “Hello and Welcome”. I know I didn’t get a greeting when I joined the beginner group and I admit I was a bit puzzled.

Hey, Advanced Beginners! I just wanted to check in with everyone. For unknown reasons, I hit a slump in my fiddle practice in the last week. It hasn’t always felt fun, and I sounded worse to my own ear, and missed too many days too!

Shucks – I’m sorry I missed it. Our school days were extended due to an abundance of snow days in December and it’s been busy. I can’t make the next one either 🙁 because of the school schedule. Darn! Are you all practicing a specific song?

  No specific song, Elise, but you might want to be ready to play one or two in a round robin.

We hope to make this a recurring meeting on Monday evenings at 8 pm EST, every other week. Terri Marsico agreed to set these up as…[Read more]
